... this is the point where I should start a blog post, and a Git repo with version numbers and a changelog, I guess. :P

I found decaf Coca-Cola in a supermarket last week, and could do a direct taste comparison. At this point, I prefer my cola by a large margin! Coca-Cola tasted bland, like molten cola popsicles. It had an interesting dryness to it, though, which I'm not sure how to replicate.
Made a simple orange soda today, really happy with how it turned out! I put the recipe here, along with my modified cola recipe, and the almond + blood orange drink I invented: https://github.com/blinry/soft-drink-recipes
blinry almond 0.1.1 contains less almond oil, to highlights the citrus flavors a bit more. Find the updated recipe here: https://github.com/blinry/soft-drink-recipes/blob/main/almond.md
One of these is a version with sugar instead of sucralose. 400 g of sugar seem to be a good replacement for 0.6 g sucralose. Curious to see whether people will be able to taste the difference! :)
