I was having a Diet Pepsi pretty much everyday (they were free at my office). Not that big of a deal, but not all that necessary, either. It wasn&#8217;t that hard to give them up. You just stop buying them at the grocery, order iced tea or stick with water, and bring your water bottle to the movies.  <\/p>\n<p>But right about now is when it starts to get rough, I mean, when does a root beer float sound better &#8212; November or July?  So I&#8217;m realistic, and I let myself have an exception now and then. No sodas is a rule, until it&#8217;s not, because heck yeah, we&#8217;re having root beer floats this summer. And I&#8217;ll be raising a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cooklikeachampionblog.com\/2010\/11\/frozen-butterbeer-for-the-deathly-hallows-premiere.html\">cream soda butterbeer<\/a> to commemorate the last Harry Potter film.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ve got to tell you about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brasilena.net\/\">Brasilena<\/a> &#8211; an espresso soda from Italy that may be my new summer exception. It&#8217;s an espresso soda in the same vein as S. Pellegrino&#8217;s Limonata or Aranciata. It&#8217;s espresso and sugar cut with mineral water (it does have caramel coloring, so if you&#8217;ve heard about that study&#8230;). It&#8217;s sweet, but not cloying and would make a damn good float, which they have at <a href=\"http:\/\/tastynsons.com\">Tasty n Sons <\/a>in Portland (and <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/2011\/06\/12\/portland-pdx-part-1-tasty-n-sons\/\">you know how I feel<\/a> about that place!). It won&#8217;t replace a good iced coffee for me this summer, but it&#8217;s worth checking out if you&#8217;ve got a good Italian market in your neighborhood.<\/p><!-- Start GADSWPV-3.6 --><center><div id=\"ga_29466488\"> <\/div><div style=\"text-align:right; width:300px; padding:5px 0;\">\r\n   <img class=\"lazyload_inited\" src=\"https:\/\/bcdn.grmtas.com\/images\/gourmetads-logo.jpg\" alt=\"logo\" style=\"float:right; border:none;\" \/>\r\n   <div style=\"width:auto; padding:4px 5px 0 0; float:right; display:inline-block; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size:11px; color:#333;\">\r\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gourmetads.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Food Advertisements\" style=\"text-decoration:none; color:#333;\">Food Advertisements<\/a> by\r\n   <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/center><!-- End GADSWPV-3.6 -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I gave up sodas last year.
