Sioux City Prickly Pear

It's been a few years since Sioux City appeared on the blog and it just so happens I found a new flavor.

It has an exotic aroma, like a passion fruit. The prickly pear cactus, pictured on the bottle, does produce a fruit used for food. However, looking at the ingredients, it appears the flavor of this drink is entirely man-made. Boy, this drink is pungent. The flavor is quite unique. It is both fruity like a mix of passion fruit and cranberry, but acidic and just a tiny bit bubble-gummy. It also reminds me of a lychee soda. I recommend trying this at least once for the sheer strangeness of the flavor.
