Drinking in the SIAL Experience
October 25th, 2008
There were certainly plenty of drink choices here at SIAL. Coffee and tea, fruit juices, water, soft drinks, energy drinks, wine and spirits. Aisle after aisle — and there were hundreds of aisles — showcased bottles, cans, bags and boxes of beverages. The trick, of course, was standing out in the crowd.
My favorites were the fruit drinks from West Africa. Unusual flavors, such as baobab, soursop and tamarind, are interesting to try. I got some samples to bring home to the lab to see how we might use them in some drinks. I’m thinking about a white chocolate hibiscus drink. I wonder how it will taste … ?
