Seattle-based DRY Soda offers four flavors of "culinary" soda that were created to be paired with food—a strategy similar to that of Modern Spirits Vodka.
One of the first things you notice about DRY sodas is the aroma of the four flavors, which is pleasant and not overwhelming. The sodas are caffeine free, very lightly sweetened with cane sugar, flavored with natural fruit and herb extracts and weigh in at a guilt free 50-70 calories. The packaging and bottles are also nicely designed
Our favorites were Kumquat, "With its high acidity and and bright fruitiness" it goes with just about everything, and Rhubarb, which "capatures both the sweet complexity and the mouth-watering tartness" and can be paired to any food that's in good company with a hearty red wine. We also enjoyed the Lemongrass and the Lavendar flavors.
Available in stores and restaurants on the West coast, and online from DRY Soda (a case of 12 bottles is $25).

Zhi offers gourmet organic varieties in...
Unlike most flavored vodkas that use chemical additives to get their kicks, Hangar One Raspberry Vodka is actually distilled straight from the famous Meeker raspberry harvested in Washington State. With its red color and unique taste, its a different experience altogether. Only one batch is made yearly in June, the latest was recently made available in limited quantities. The heady aroma belies a surprisingly...
"Drink water, not sugar" is the mantra of Hint Inc., a conscious beverage company whose goal is simple: to make a simple drink that tastes good. It's a fresh break from all of the "functional waters" on the line that promise all but the meaning of life. We love this summer's recently-announced four new flavors: Hibiscus Vanilla, Watermelon, Blackberry, and Watermelon....

With his keen eye for pop culture and irreverent humor, Eric Yahnker's current exhibition of highly-detailed pencil drawings and conceptual sculptures at Ambach & Rice Gallery taps into a zeitgeist also seen in the work of contemporaries like Mathew Cerletty and Karl Haendel. Posing as a serious act, it's a wink-wink-nudge-nudge approach that's unabashedly "now," sharing a sensibility with Leslie Nielsen in "Airplane" and,...
