I'm not a big soda mixer, but I noticed a couple of New Yorkers married to southerners having similar conversations as my wife and I. I was born and raised on Long Island and I LOVE grape soda and orange soda. My wife always asks me if I'm sure I wasn't raised in the south.

That's hard to believe, because I too thought those grape drinks were fantastic. I might have to try it though.

Fresh squeezed (not too sweet) lemonade with a good shot of Torani blood orange syrup at the bottom of and iced glass. Tasty.
What about the Arnold Palmer? 1/2 Sweet tea and 1/2 lemonade. I haven't had one of those in a while
Red Wine and Cola is the Shiznit!
Equal parts Pepsi/Coke, Orange Crush, 7-Up/Sprite, and root beer, with lots of ice, is a drink I loved as a kid and still drink occasionally if I'm in the mood for a Big Gulp. We called it swamp water.

I did that as a kid... We always begged my mom to take us to 7/11 and we would mix/match and call it Swamp water...
thanks for the memory!
