This is it!!! I searched high and low and, er Amazon, and found Cockta. I mentioned Cockta in one of my previous posts, so I had to have it. Rumune I anticipated for the bottle and marble. Cockta for the drink itself.
Background: Cockta originates in Slovenia. It started in the 1950's, when Emerik Zelinka, working for the Slovenijavino beverage company, made a soda from all natural ingredients. Dog rose hips, or dog rose berries being the primary source of flavor. The soda began a slow rise in popularity in Yugoslavia(as it was known then), and some growth into other parts of Europe. In the 70's Cockta became a family drink with its slogan “The drink of our and your days of youth” boosting sales over 35 million liters. The 80's and 90's brought hard times for Cockta as the economy in Yugoslavia took a bad downturn. In 2000, the beverage company and rights to Cockta were sold to Kolinska food and drink company, and a new slogan appeared "You never forget your first" (as in you never forget your first cock-ta). Kolinska marketed hard (oh what a pun) and Cockta made a come back (it only gets worse). The climax is an orgasmic web site (told you it got worse) that is a lot of fun to poke (!!!) around. There are now many more flavors and sizes of Cock ta's(it just never ends). If you like Cockta on face book, your experience keeps growing, getting bigger with every stroke(yep, you have to slide your touch pad or mouse to go thru a gallery, kind of like stroking a...). But don't tell me they don't use similar sort of off color humor in their ad campaigns Look at Chuck Norris in this ad
Anze Kopitar, this one's for you.
Small bottle only 8.45 fl oz. After finding a bottle opener (not a twist off), the scent. Well, smells like a cola, but there's much more to the drink, you can tell by the complex aroma. Even some cream type of undertones (a cock-ta that produces cream...). First sip, very tasty. Now if I could explain the taste to you. Little bit like cola, but so much more. There's a tart undertone, but not objectionable. Aftertaste is just as hard (!!!) to explain. There is one, its not unpleasant, but just not sure how to describe the taste. I've said many a time here that I do not like using one soda flavor to describe another, but really, slowly drinking the bottle and enjoying the taste, Moxie came to mind. The cost relative to one bottle, the soda and shipping, make it economically unpractical, but I would buy and drink more of this beverage.
Wonder if they'll ever use the slogan: Nothing like sucking on a Cockta!
We will now return you to regular G rated blog
