1776 Beverage Co. is a product from the spice and sauce company Heartbreaking Dawns. The company hasn't been around very long and is run by married couple, the McLaughlin's. The couple shared sauces created with their locally grown ingredients with friends and family and later local events. Heartbreaking Dawns was founded in 2009 and is located in Midland Park, New Jersey. The 1776 Beverage Co. was an offshoot that came out of that company producing it's first sodas in 2011.
The soda has a rich amber color with a mild birch beer scent. The smell of raspberry is lingering in the background, but you really have to search for it. However, the flavor is all about the raspberry. It is a mild raspberry though, not tart or as strong as biting into a fresh berry. Raspberry flavoring in sodas is pretty rare so it makes for a very interesting taste. Amazingly, this sugar cane sweetened soda is surprisingly low cal. The entire bottle is marked at just 130 calories. The taste isn't mind blowing, but simply because of the uniqueness of it, I recommend giving it a try if you find a bottle.
