I love chinotto but so far italy was the only place i could get it consistently from. When i lived in hungary i had to go to a special import shop, in spain as well and in sweden right now i even asked a person whos from italy, and i couldnt even find it in one of those import places. From what i heard its because most people hate the taste of it so its only sustainable to sell it italy - shame.
I like Estonian Kelluke, a local carbonated lemonade. Probably mostly meant for kids, but hey...
Scotland: Irn Bru. Has outsold all others for over a century. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irn-Bru
Iceland has Appelsin, which is like Tango before they took all the sugar out.
In Portugal, we have a few drinks like:
Sumol
A fruity carbonated drink, more popular in the summer
Compal
Closer to natural juice
Kima (only available in the Azores)
Soft fruity taste and lightly carbonated. Very refreshing
If I'm not mistaken they're all produced in Portugal
Edit: I forgot a couple!
Bongo
Sugared up juice fruit marketed to young people, loved by all
Brisa
Fruity soda with a lighter taste than Sumol imo
Laranjada (available mostly in Madeira)
Only tried it once, hard to describe, but tastes like a lab made orange juice
The Portuguese bakery in my neighborhood got me addicted to Sumol. Also pairs nicely with some dark rum...
You also have Brisa (passion fruit soda, similar to Lima) and Laranjada (orange soda) from Madeira
@Sunshine
Regina - very special lemonade. You can mix it with beer to "Tango". :mastogrin:

Iโm not from Malta but when I used to go as a kid I always looked forward to drinking Kinnie. It had a weird, but nice, taste. For a time you could get it in the UK, but itโs not the same without the sun.
Is the label black or clear?
I like the minimalism. So much less 'in your face' like other top brands.
