My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is such a fun book! It’s full of history and trivia and all sorts of fascinating recipes. It is fun to read and dream over, but I can’t seem to bring myself to actually make anything out of it. The colas and root beers tend to call for ingredients that are definitely in the hard to find category and the fruit sodas (which I was most looking forward to) are–for my taste buds–odd combinations that hold no appeal for my family.

Are you determined to make your own sodas not matter what? This is definitely the book for you. Do you love the history and interesting tidbits about things like this? You’ll love this book! If you’re a busy mom that would like to make a healthier soda for your child but don’t have time to track down hard to find items or if you don’t like funkier flavor combinations, this might not be the right book for you. Over all, I enjoyed the book. I just didn’t get the use out of I thought I would.

I received a copy of this book from Storey Publishing for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
