Corfu's Secret Soft Drink, Discovered by Greek Column, Is Taking the World By Storm
Did somebody say Royal Ionian Orange Ginger Ale? Yes actually, we did!
The best souvenirs are the ones you can drink — and you’ll find none that is more refreshing than Royal Ionian Orange Ginger Ale. We discovered this bright, non-alcoholic, carbonated drink on a flash visit to Corfu and crowned it our official drink of Greek Summer. It didn’t take long before the fizzy phenomenon found its way to Athens International Airport (see photo above) and now to the world, one sip at a time.
Its delightfully refreshing combination of tangy orange juice with the verve of ginger and just a snap of cinnamon is a wondrous harmony of flavors and aromas sure to quench the thirst of all you cool summer cats. This is the stuff of sweet but not too sweet refreshment dreams and the creation of Corfu Beer, a unique brewery on the Ionian island that also makes, of course, a range of excellent Corfiot beers.
One of the things we love about Royal Ionian Orange Ginger Ale — other than how great and unique it tastes — is the surprisingly low sugar content. A 12-ounce can of Coke contains 39 grams of sugar, but a 330 milliliter bottle of Royal Ionian Orange Ginger Ale (that’s just under 12 ounces) contains only ten grams of sugar — that’s pretty juicy!
We also love that this bubbly premium series beverage from Corfu comes packaged in a beautiful glass bottle. That’s old-school style for wherever your Greek summer travels take you. No wonder Royal Ionian Orange Ginger Ale has been christened Greek Column’s…Official Drink of Greek Fall Shoulder Season!!
Says Pam Price, the former Shape magazine travel editor and now Hollywood, California-based international travel and style guru and renowned wellness expert, “I love the entire Royal Ionian range, including orange ginger ale and pink grapefruit bergamot.” In fact, she bubbled, “I secretly stashed a few bottles in my suitcase to enjoy back home — it’s sayonara to 7UP, and yasou, te kaneis? to these premium sodas from Corfu!”
