What we're sipping: A classic Arsaga's soda

Presenting the classic soda ($4) from Arsaga's Mill District.

• The menu description reads: cherry, cacao and vanilla soda.

The verdict: Arsaga's makes this light and refreshing while giving it a depth not often found in fizzy drinks.

• Carbonation, by the way, is light, which contributes to a more sophisticated cherry-vanilla taste and experience than one might get at the neighborhood drive-up.

Check it out: Arsaga's Mill District, 481 S. School Ave., Fayetteville. Monday-Saturday, 7am-3pm; Sunday, 9am-3pm.
