All I drink these days is Grass Jelly and Goudas coconut water... and Jarritos tamarind soda and Irn-Bru orange drink and Jumex apricot nectar. So yeah, basically I only drink ethnic beverages that are expired and fail sanitation standards and are flown all the way to the states in gas-guzzling, pollution cargo planes all the way from the Third World. Do you love ethnic beverages too? Let's discuss.
Grass Jelly
You’d think something called “Grass Jelly” would be at least sort of good for you, because otherwise why would you drink a something that looks like a viscous greenish blackish jelly, is made in Chinese factories, comes out of a can that, more often than not, is displaying signs of rust? But no, grass jelly just happens to have hardly any redeeming nutritional value. It’s also not that savory, and makes your breath smell funny. So why can’t I stop drinking it? Does anyone have an answer?
Mr. Goudas Coconut Water
Of all the beverages on here, coconut water is the best for you, and in my opinion, the one that tastes the best too. Mr. Goudas coconut water is actually healthy, natural, not-too-high-calorie, and delicious!
Jumex
Jumex apricot nectar is FROM CONCENTRATE so don’t fool yourself into thinking it’s really nectar. That said, it’s 100% saccharine goodness. Synthetic taste that really tricks the tongue. Yum.
Jarritos Tamardino
Jarritos makes a host of unnaturally sweet sodas, but the Tamarindo one strikes me as the most ethnic. Which is why I resolved to train my tongue into liking it, even though at first I was wholly turned off by the taste. Note: this makes a great mixer for drinks – especially if your booze is cheap. Literally, it’s so freaking sweet it provides a mask for any other flavor.
Ramune
Yes, I am a slave to cute Japanese packaging. The concept behind this fizzy sweet drink is shockingly genius. The drink is bottled by a marble – you push the marble into the neck of the bottle to get access to the sugar water underneath. When you’re done, you have an empty bottle with a rattling marble in it, ie a veritable treasure.
Irn-Bru
Leave it to the Scots to come up with a drink in that packaging, and naming it “Irn-Bru” instead of “Iron Brew”. I mean, “I’m Scottish, Rawr, I’m a caveman” yep, applies. This fizzy orange drink tastes really unnatural and weird, but it is possible to grow to like it if you drink enough. I tried this as an experiment, and it was like I hated it the first 12 times and then, on the 13th try, a lightbulb went off in my head.
Mexican Coca-Cola
So, not technically an ethnic beverage, but known to us all as “Mexican Coke,” Coca-Cola made with real cane sugar is 100,000,000 times tastier than regular Coke. This is a natural law.

I don’t have a picture of the Russian Cherry Soda that I had at Java Man in Portland, but I can tell you that it was (1) Delicious and (2) Not at all in English.

Calpico Lychee
I bought this “non-carbonated soft drink” at Famima!! Super Convenience. And it was so good. Before I drank it, it was a milky white color. It was sweet and so so tasty. I will probably have it again.

I had no idea that anyone else shared my love for drinking things from other countries! I first had the marble drink when I was really drunk and found the packaging quite confusing.
