I like water.

I rarely drink soda, but when I do it's a Jarritos tamarindo.
Im at a point in my life where I try to drink less of that kind of stuff, so when I do I usually choose quality over quantity and pick some smaller brand making good stuff.
My usual is a brand called Lurisia. I especially enjoy their Chinotto, which is mostly caramelized sugar and a bitter aromatic citrus fruit, or bitter orange.
Me too. I miss my youthful metabolism.
For the past couple of years, I've been grooving on Ramune, that Japanese drink in the glass bottles with the marble. It's just sugar-water; the flavorings are mild, there's no caffeine, and it's pretty sweet, but it's fun and tastes good. My Cub Foods carries it in the "foreign" section, and I'll get a bottle a couple of times a year. It's the only sweetened soda I drink.
We do drink a fair amount of soda water; just plain, unsweetened, unflavored carbonated water, but I don't think that counts towards OP's question. Gerolsteiner, mostly, but also non-mineral ... Gerolsteiner has a taste, being mineral water, which I like but not so much with meals.
Kofola, of course.

Enjoy probably :3 specifically the lemon, lime and mint one

Either that or the cactus and lime Rasa

And honourable mention to kvass (any brand tbh)
Cheerwine is some tasty stuff, and for the most part it isn't readily available in my part of the country, so it always feels like a special treat when I do find it.
Otherwise A-Treat is out local soda brand, and their Sasparilla and Birch Beer are the taste of my childhood.
Real (actually brewed) root beer. Not to be confused with root beer flavored syrup mixed with carbonated water, which is 99% of what's available.
It's hit and miss depending on the source, but when it's a hit... chef's kiss
I don't generally drink soda but when i do, birch beer is my favorite; second favorites are Dr. Pepper, cream soda, and cranberry ginger ale.
Faygo. Specifically either red pop or cotton candy. There used to be a single gas station at basically the far edge of town that sold it and nobody else had any Faygo whatsoever. Then at one point, a little convenience store right across from my favorite movie theater started carrying it when a new store took over. It's real nice on the rare occasion I have it.
Guarana Antartica as Energy Drink
Rivella Blue as soft drink.
Mr. Pibb baby
But really I drink mostly "Zero" branded stuff. Tastes way better than the diet ones and I don't need the sugar. Coke Zero is way better than Diet Coke. Diet Pepsi is piss, so Pepsi Zero being drinkable is an improvement. I'll say I prefer Diet Dr. Pepper to Dr. Pepper Zero though. And for Mountain Dew neither Zero nor Diet is good.
They don't exist where I am now, but RC Cola, Dr. Pepper, Kroger Cherry Cola, and European Orange Fanta.
My new favourite that I can have is Vita Sparkling Lemon Tea!
I have two. Ginger beer tastes great, and it's helpful if you've got a cold or stomach ache.
It's a 'soft drink' only because it doesn't have alcohol. Manhattan Special Espresso soda. I'd see the old Italian men drinking it when they played bocce. Three bottles have enough caffeine to give you heart palpitations.
I had no idea you could make cake with 7-Up! Iβve moved away from soda for the most part, but ice cold Root Beer is still pretty tasty to me in certain situations
Not mentioning brand name bcus tκ localised , but their orange creme soda's ABSOLUTE BEST
Befour that , berry fanta
Club Mate is my absolute favourite. Not overly sweet and lots of caffeine.
Can't say for sure what my favorite is, but it would be sparkling water or Apfelschorle by volume consumed.
Carbonated water + cranberry apple juice mix
Or carbonated water + a little lemon or lime juice
I'm sensitive about carbonation so I tend to like the weaker ones. Ramune, Milkis (if it counts), Ski, and Wild Bill's apple soda are my favorites. As far as more common sodas go, I love a diet Dr. Pepper or cream soda.
Lately I've been enjoying a half Mountain Dew half Baja Blast mix when I go to Taco Bell.
Store brand cola zero here, it tastes very very close to Coca Cola for about half the price, which I'm very happy with. In restaurants I'm happy enough with Coca Cola, or a Rivella.
