Ironbeer
Enough of politics for awhile, I found a new drink. Ironbeer, which is not beer but is a soda. This is a soft drink that originated in Cuba in 1917. In 1960 after Castro took Cuba the company emigrated to Miami where it is still based. It is a sweet somewhat fruity drink, I think it has a bit of Cream soda flavor although others disagree. At any rate it is good. Give it a try if you can find it. Look in Hispanic groceries or maybe some of the "gourmet" grocery chains. Or maybe Trader Joes or World Market. There are even a few online place you can order it.*

Well Shucks Exmi: You learn something different every day. I think I will try it. There is a very large Hispanic population in the Valley and although they are mostly Mexican, there is some tie in with beverages. My favorite is Agua de Tamarindo. Do you like that:) Have a nice day btw:)
I have tried various Tamarind drinks in the past. They are ok.
Glad to help you find new things....
I'll keep an eye in Trader Joe's for it.
