Description

Sosyo is a Surat drink and one of the oldest soft drink brands in India, made by a family firm that has been at it since long before the multinationals arrived. Its house style is a fruity, lightly spiced fizzy drink that is neither a cola nor a lemonade and does not have a close equivalent on a Dutch supermarket shelf.

Serve it very cold, in a glass rather than from the bottle, because the aroma is a large part of what you are drinking. It is a good match for heavily spiced food for the same reason a sweet lassi is, and it is the drink people from Gujarat buy on sight abroad. Beyond that, we would rather not describe this particular bottle in detail until the shop confirms which product in the range it is.

What size is the bottle? The listing does not say, and neither does the product name. We have flagged it for the shop to add, so ask before ordering a case.

What flavour is it? The Sosyo house style is fruity and lightly spiced rather than citrus or cola. The exact flavour of this bottle is not stated on the listing.

For something with a stated size, take the Nawab lime soda, and the rest of the cold shelf carries the mango drinks. Vegetarian. Keep it somewhere cool, chill it before serving, and finish an opened bottle the same day while the fizz holds.
