Read MoreJapanese inspired beverages - shiso, limes and watermelon
I recently got back from a short holiday to Kyoto and Osaka with my family. It was the end of peach season there but I was still lucky enough to have one of their incredibly delectable, juicy and very expensive peaches. Unfortunately they're very hard to ship so I wasn't able to bring one back to Hong Kong...
Read MoreHong Kong carbonated juices (guavas, rose apples and starfruit!)
I'm posting from Hong Kong this week (Tony will still be doing the Flea this coming Saturday with West Indies inspired flavours). I grew up eating a variety of fruit that I often still don't know the English names for, and often miss the tropical fruits. In addition, Hong Kong has plentiful juice stands and delicious fruit based drinks that help the population of 7 million beat the long summer heat...
Read MorePlums & blackberries for this Saturday. And a Pie in the Park benefit on Sunday
It's become hard to figure out what fruit to use - everything looks so great at the greenmarkets. This week we've decided to go for yellow plums from Red Jacket, and have paired it up with our beloved ginger...
Read MoreFlavors for Saturday! And flip-top bottles to take home soda!
It's amazing how different thyme from different places can look. The thyme on the above left is from the Union Square Farmer's market, and the one on the right is from a farmers market in NJ. It seems like the one on the left is younger and lighter tasting (the leaves are bigger), while the bunch on the right has smaller denser leaves.
Read MoreDebuting at the Flea- our 3 flavors
Insanely busy past couple of days! Was at the Palo Santo kitchen preparing the sodas till 4am last night, and just finished carbonating them. And I just finished making my blackboard sign in the shape of a bottle...
Read MoreCream Soda attempt!
Things have started to get busy here at the headquarters of Brooklyn Soda Works (meaning the kitchen of the apartment). We're gearing up for our debut at the Brooklyn Flea in 9 days, trying to work out last minute technical glitches and ordering the last of our supplies, as well as trying to determine our starting lineup for flavors...
Read MoreOur first scale up!
Our first scale up and soda party was a success! It featured a lemon-ginger ale; cucumber, lime & sea salt, and a root beer. No terrible technical issues, no meltdowns and no sick guests...
Read MoreApple & ginger soda; and cucumber, lime & sea salt!
This past rainy Saturday we had a visitor to our kitchen - Liza from Dirtyhandsny.com (a project through the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, about everything DIY in New York)...

Had an hour free before the commute into Newark, so decided I'd give my sister's suggestion of lemon & thyme soda a try...

Read MoreA big big thanks to all our supporters, and mix tape ideas please
We've been completely blown away by the amount of support we've received. We never in a million years thought that we would reach over 2/3 of our goal on Kickstarter.com within 48 hours. A big thanks to everyone who pledged...

Read MoreHappy Year of the Tiger! Lemongrass and lime soda
While not a typical Valentine's Day nor Chinese New Year drink, February 14th seemed like an appropriate day to try out an idea I had for soda/ sparkling juice that would solve some of my frustrations about the strength of the lime juice overwhelming the taste of the mint in the mint-lime soda...
