Cicero Beverage Co. is located in Chicago, IL. My grandfather grew up in Cicero, when it was still populated heavily Czech/Bohemian residents.
St. Patrick's Day is the perfect day to review this soda. Although Cicero Beverage makes several sodas of different colors, Lime was the best choice for today because the river on the label changes color based on the soda. For those outside of the U.S. that read this blog, Chicago, which has historically had a large Irish population, dyes the river green on St. Patrick's Day.
The soda itself is well carbonated. The flavor is a bit lacking though. There are some good lime sodas, but I often find bottlers that create a very hard-candy type of lime flavor. It's not a bad lime, I've had much worse I think. But it's not amazing either. I am interested in tasting some of their others in the lineup because they do offer several flavors and some are intriguing.
