Fanta Blackcurrant 1.25L
★★★★★ 5.0 (1 review)That deep purple soda everyone fights over at a Nairobi birthday party. Fanta Blackcurrant hits sweet and a little tart, all juicy dark-berry, and the 1.25L means there's enough to actually go around (or not, your call). Pour it over ice on a hot afternoon, splash it into a glass of vodka after dark, or just crack it open with the nyama choma. Want it cold and now? We've got you, any hour.
Big berry on the nose, like ripe blackcurrant and a hint of dark grape. The first sip is properly sweet, then a tart little kick keeps it from being cloying, so you go back for more. The fizz is lively and the fruit lingers. Ice-cold is where it shines. Warm and flat, it loses the magic, so keep it chilled.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Fanta is a Coca-Cola brand, and the orange one you know was actually dreamt up in 1940s wartime Germany when cola syrup ran short. The blackcurrant version is a regional flavour, and in Kenya it's basically a cultural fixture, the purple soda at every shindig from Mombasa to Nairobi. It's made with real blackcurrant juice, which is where that vivid colour and proper berry tang come from.
