The bottle fooled me: this is just a generic apple juice
In a recent post, I raved about Amazon Grocery apple cider, which tastes very similar to the fresh apple juice from the farmer’s market. But Amazon has not had it available for a while now, so I went looking for alternatives. Safeway’s Signature Farms Apple Cider With Honey Crisp Apples came in a milk-bottle look alike, rather than in the clear plastic bottles apple juice regularly comes in, and seemed to not come from concentrate, so I thought I’d give it a try – despite the fact that it listed glycolipids as preservatives.
Well, it turns out that it tastes just like the typical commercial non-filtered apple juice. It’s not bad, I prefer it to filtered apple juice, but it does not have the deliciousness of fresh apple juice.
My last visit to 
Mika was excited t try Coco Passion Fruit Drink because she’d never had passion fruit or passion fruit juice before. The drink, actually bottled in Thailand, is made of water, sugar, passion fruit juice, citric acid, artificial flavor, and gellam gum – so it’s not as pure as the lassi. Still, it was very tasty. Indeed, it tasted very much like guava juice, though it was thicker than the guava juice we usually get.
We’ve never had lychee juice before, and T.A.S. Lychee Drink was sort of a revelation. It has the same flavor profile as guava juice but it’s sweeter, if you can imagine that, with a subtle floral/rose-like flavor. We liked it, though I personally would have preferred it being less sweet. Mika thought it was refreshing. I’m thinking that I should explore lychees more. It seems like a sophisticated fruit that could enhance a multi-course menu. The drink comes in a 10.5 oz can and it’s also made in Thailand. The ingredients are water, lychee juice, sugar and citric acid.
