Jolly Rancher, America's favorite hard candy, has released a carbonated beverage commemorating its popular watermelon, orange, green apple, and grape flavors. Available in 20 oz. bottles, each of these sodas formulary was designed to match the candy's simplicity. The beverage itself is clear with a mild waxy aftertaste.

It is a wonderful drink for those who crave the sugar of soda but don't want the artificial colors. It is available in most region grocery chains and convenience stores.

This beverage has valuable potential in the field of mixology. Since the Jolly Rancher Sodas are clear and mild in aftertaste, it can be added to ice cream, rums, or vodkas to make a refreshing mixed drink or ice cream float.
