In some parts of Europe (especially Germany/Austria in my experience) you can find soda drinks such as "Club Mate". I like the taste as it's sweteened but not excessively.


I know that, but don't like it that much. What's acceptable though is Club Mate Granat. That is blended with some pomegrenade juice, and looks red. Recommended.

Also still available for €0,89 per 0,5L where I live :-)


I think Club Mate Granat is an atrocity that tastes nothing like Mate.

But when it comes to mixing flavors, I think Mio Mio Ginger Mate is pretty great.

Or Lux Mate with mint - but I’m afraid they closed down.


Mio Mio Ginger Mate was acceptable, but not good. But they also had something Guarana Pomegrenade, which was better. While were at Ginger, ever tried Bundaberg? :-) Lux Mate Mint sounds interesting, but never had it, so far.


> Club-Mate has developed a following in computer hacker culture and tech start-ups, especially in Europe.

I also like Tschunk, a caipirinha-like cocktail made with Club-Mate, rum, brown sugar, and limes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club-Mate#Tschunk


Yeah you made me remember tschunk, I liked it!!

Beside hacker culture it's also quite common in the clubbing scene. I also like to mix it with vodka, it's simple and works pretty well.
