Sprecher knows how to draw people to their products with their colorful bottles featuring colorful characters. Their Ravin' Red Cranberry-Cherry flavor has a red bird carrying some cranberries and cherries in it's claws on the bottle. This is the first time I have encountered a soda pop that is suppose to be cranberry-cherry flavor, so I was wanting to try it. But I did not want to fork out the money to buy a 4-pack, just in case I didn't like it. So I waited until I could buy a single bottle and I found one at Ski's Meat Market in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.
Besides giving you a great visual, Sprecher knows how to put words on the bottle to get your mouth watering. This bottle says this around the neck: "We have searched Wisconsin far and wide for the finest all-natural ingredients brewed them in our gas-fired kettle and bottled this gourmet soda just for you! Pure cherry juice is skillfully combined with cranberry juice concentrate and blended with honey and ginseng for a high-energy soft drink that is the perfect balance of sweet and tart". The ingredient list even tells you the location in which the cherries came from - Door County Wisconsin.
I have never had a drink taste like this. It reminded me of eating cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving Day. The cherry flavor was there too, but I think it took a back seat to the cranberry. I am not the biggest fan of cranberries, but I know if you are cranberry aficionado then you will love this drink.
