I was seriously craving a Coke today, but that would have meant going out to get one, so I improvised.  Soda water from the Sodastream, cola flavored SweetDrops liquid stevia, and a generous dose of acid phosphate.  Still a little over-sweet, but close enough to what I wanted.

Truth in Advertising - Somethings Never Change

Truth in Advertising – Somethings Never Change

Yay for little things!  We all got $100 at work (in lieu of a holiday party, the owners just give us all a $100 bill, which is awesome IMO, as I wouldn't go to a party), so once it transfers from my bank account to my Paypal, I WILL be ordering the soda kit from artofdrink.com, with "Fix The Pumps," acid phosphate, and lactart.  I read a bit of Fix The Pumps on Google Books; it sounds like a fascinating read going over the pre-Prohibition history of the soda fountain.  Acid phosphate and lactart are both souring components used to balance sodas.  A number of the recipes in the books I bought a few weeks back call for adding a few drops of acid phosphate to the syrup-and-water mix for a more balanced, complete taste.

Acid phosphate is interesting, from what I've read.  It's a neutral sour taste.  Most sour components in drinks (alcoholic AND soft) are citrus juices.  Acid phosphate gives the sour without the citrus flavor.  I'm anxious to try it!
