Why We Love Root & Revelry Craft Sodas -

Across our locations in Chicago, Glenview, and Oak Park, we’ve created spaces where everyone is welcome and every dish is made with intention, creativity, and care.

And when it comes to what you’re sipping alongside your meal, we’re delighted to offer Root & Revelry craft sodas. With more than 10 flavors to choose from, these fizzy brewed-sodas pair well with many of our appetizers and dishes.

Brewed Sodas in Unique Flavors

We were originally drawn to their brewed sodas because of the process involved to make them. Brewed sodas are created by fermenting natural ingredients. These natural ingredients can include ginger, roots, or herbs and processed with yeast to produce natural carbonation (most sodas use artificial flavoring and forced carbonation).

Additionally, we wanted to try their unique flavors: Lavender Cherry, Blueberry Lemon, Cardamom Grape, Mint Lime, Sparkling Joe, and Raspberry shrub.

Some of our customer and staff favorites include:

Blueberry Lemon – A customer favorite praised for its zesty lemon and sweet wild blueberry, this flavor is Blueberry lemon cake during the summer in a can. Not too sweet and not too much bubbles, make it the perfect pairing for salads and green dishes.

Their Cardamom Grape flavor that reminds us of the “grown up” version of the nostalgic childhood grape soda. A rich blend of concord grapes, a hint of cardamom spice and juniper berries, and smoother bubbles.

Mint Lime has a refreshing taste reminiscent of mojito. Rich mint and a dash of lime, this flavor pairs especially well with our sandwiches. Try it with our Banh Mi, Not-Dog Vegan Hotdog, or our limited-time special Philly Cheese Steak sub. Add a side of Chef Ruby’s Chili Oil to any of these dishes for that extra burst of flavor!

Sparkling Joe Caffeinated Brew Soda

Sparkling Joe has velvety caramel notes, vanilla bean, and smooth bubbles. Organic coffee is steeped for 12 hours and then vanilla bean is added. Additional ingredients include sparkling water, raw cane sugar, and lemon juice.

Root & Revelry Craft Sodas Classic Flavors

After ‘trying and testing’ their specialty flavors, we moved on to their classic flavors: Ginger, vanilla, and vanilla orange. Our first impression was that these flavors were refreshing without being overly sweet and complemented food rather than overpower it.

The classic Ginger flavor is described by Root and Revelry as “the happy medium of ginger ale and ginger beer” on their website. With only 4 ingredients, this craft soda has anti-inflammatory and gut-friendly properties. This flavor pairs especially well with our most popular Asian dishes Kung Pao Ding and Malaysian Chow Mein.

Their Orange Vanilla flavor is a “delightful medley of orange and vanilla reminiscent of a popsicle dripping down your chin on a hot summer’s day.” This is the flavor to chose when you’re looking for a nice balance between sweet and creamy. A best-selling during lunch hours!

These simple flavors are proof that you can never go wrong with classic.

Root & Revelry Craft Sodas are Made with Simple Ingredients

Because some products that are labeled “natural” can still have ingredients that are highly processed or synthetic, we wanted to make sure we recognized all ingredients. Root & Revelry sodas did not disappoint:

“You will find only REAL cane sugar, REAL fruit juices and zests, REAL colors from the fruits themselves, and REAL hard work, care, and passion inside! Instead of one-note flavored sodas, we want to give you flavor combinations that are complex and interesting._ Root and Revelry

Additionally, Root & Revelry sodas are vegan, gluten free, and crafted in small batches. We’re confident to offer our customers and friends only the best.
