Capi Lemon Soda is an Australian sparkling lemon soft drink in a 250mL bottle, made for mixing with spirits or drinking on its own over ice. The small format suits one glass at a time, so nothing is left going flat in the fridge door.

The aroma is straightforward lemon — bright, a little zesty, without any confected edge. On the palate it is clean and lightly sweet, with a citrus tang and firm carbonation that keeps things crisp rather than syrupy, and the finish is short and dry enough to leave you wanting another mouthful.

Serve Capi Lemon Soda well chilled, poured over plenty of ice with a wedge of lemon. It works with gin or vodka for a simple long drink, lengthens whisky or Italian bitters, and is a decent non-alcoholic option on its own at a barbecue or long lunch.
