She never goes out of her way to say a food is unhealthy but clarifing that in excess the food can be bad for you thus never inadvertently shaming the people who enjoys the foods. Presenting the food or drink as something neutral, that is OK to like or dislike using our own discretion. It absolutely is something to be admired. This coming from someone who was raised as if food was something to be feared. Thank you Emmy!

I used to drink coke and sodas all the time. Took me 10 years to break the habit but I had to for my health. On a hot summer day after a couple of years of not having any, I picked up an ice cold can of coke, popped it open, listened to the fizziness to with a smile, and took a big swig. Tasted like battery acid. I almost couldn't keep it in my mouth long enough to get to the sink. Never had the urge to drink it since. BUT that may be why people who don't drink it anymore can't remember what it tastes like. When you don't drink it for a long time your tastes change.

"Healthy coke" is a replacement/substitute for coke, not a doppelganger, never meant to taste like it, just to curb your craving for it and to have something that doesn't have sugar. My advice is... the caffeinnated bubly, "citrus cherry" tastes SO good with the balsamic vinegar. It reminds me of having a cocktail and is refreshing without being something that slows down my immune system. Aaight? Also, other good flavors besides cherry with the balsamic vinegar are mango, grapefruit, and peach. Any fruit that you can put spices and salt on it make for a good pairing.

I learned about this about a year and a half ago from Dr. Steven Gundry's podcast. It's one of his videos for 2017 and he doesn't call it "coke" per se but calls it a healthier alternative to soda. (He's mentioned in another video that it was something that he picked up in Italy a few years previous to his video on this subject.) I'm a hardcore Coke drinker and it's a passable substitute when made with lime-flavored sparkling water as lime is one of the original ingredients. My recommendation is to try this again with a can of chilled lime-flavored Bubbly and use two to three tablespoons of older balsamic vinegar. It's not going to taste exactly like real Coke, but will give you a cola-ish flavor.

Then I would take the strawberry-infused, sweet vinegar liquid left at the bottom of the bowl and mix it with some sparkling water for a delicious soda.

Also I highly recommend making homemade syrups with fruit and herbs. I’ve never tried adding the herbs to the syrup(grenadine) but I have infused alcohols with the herbs and then made my own drinks using the homemade syrup as well. Also it’s great for adding to kombucha! But to infuse herbs into your alcohol you essentially just add it into the bottle and then store it in a dark place for a few weeks/months. It’s all about experimenting for yourself!

Balsamic vinegar is a slightly sweet, dark, richly flavored vinegar made from grapes used to enhance salad dressings, marinades, and sauces. It can be reduced to a glaze and drizzled over strawberries, stirred into a risotto, or tossed with Brussels sprouts or red onions to let its sugars caramelize in the oven.

Hey Emmy! Love your shirt! Similiar to Coke is fermented coffee. Yah. Make cold brew, add sugar, add a pinch of bread yeast all in a bottle and shake. Let it does its thang. It will soon start to bubble and then chill and try it. It's a little more involved than that. You can find info here on YT for fermenting your own soda with yeast. But it tasted like Coke with a coffee kick.

So, as a sparkling mineral water snob. My father got me hooked on Perrier as a kid at his favorite burger place. La Croix is not really a good *flavored* sparkling water. Everytime I have tried their flavored water it does not mix well and tastes chemically. Same for Aha, Bubly, and HEB brand. The only flavored sparkling water that I prefer with little to no chemical flavor is Perrier ( grapefruit is my favorite ) and San Pellegrino ( Aranciata ). Be careful with the San Pellegrino flavors as some can be pretty strong like the Aranciata Rosa or blood orange. But most of the flavors are pretty tasty. So if you try this recipe by Emmy I would use Perrier or San Pellegrino. They will probably mix better.

I forget the brand I used to like, I think it was ~~Arowhead~~ (tall pale translucent blue bottle; I forget if the neck was tapered or a cylinder). I don't remember it being artificial tasting, but, the last time I had it was long ago. PS Google images just confirmed, it was Crystal Geiger, not Arrowhead.

Wow. Have watched shy Emmy's presence grow for what seems like a long time. Missed viewing for a little while, and catching up on some of the more recent vids I've missed has exposed how dramatic some changes can be when there is a gap in exposure. Came back to Emmy rocking Tim the Tool Man vibes with the blender, whilst humorously and totally owning it, then singing "Poopy Snowman Friends" in the outtake, and now "ball sack vinegar" flat out in the early opening of a "let's low key wreck this trend right now" vid. I am dead. Emmy slayed me.

I grew up in Roswell and went to Georgia Tech (across the street from Coca-Cola HQ), and lived in midtown Atlanta my entire adult life until this past February. I recently moved to Columbus, OH, which is home to the largest Pepsi distributor in the US. I am *dying* here in that sense... it's so hard to find a restaurant that has food that I like that also serves Coke as opposed to Pepsi. Also, you've been to the Coca-Cola factory? Do you mean the big bottling plant on 75 near the exit for Cleveland Avenue? I didn't know they allowed tours!

This is just another one of what I call Vegan sticky note recipes. Some Vegan/Health nut people understandably struggle with the restrictions of their diet choices. What to do when you miss those addictive flavors like Coke, bacon, etc.? You come up with something that has a vague resemblance (obviously, the closer the better) and you stick a label on it, often with quotes like ... a recipe for healthy "Coke." Then you adamantly insist that it tastes "just like" the original, whether it does or not. The majority of the time it does not, and no ordinary person would eat it, much less be fooled by it. Any objection to it is met with the indignant response "but this is HEALTHY!" or "this is VEGAN!" as if that mattered when it's not remotely what they desperately claim it is.

If it's good, though, just let it be Pasta with Cashew Cream Sauce, don't frame it as a second rate substitute for something it can't measure up to.

A common snack my family in the south use to drink was salted peanuts poured directly in a bottle of coke. You get a crunchy, salty surprise mixed in the sweet soda! Also, cola is a combination of warm spices, citrus, and vanilla. You can blend those scents together and it is exactly cola. Maybe if those flavors were mirrored in the mixes here, it would be closer.

@@nihlify I do not know if diet coke is still bad or not, but I know it used to be horrible. Between the high sugar content and some of the ingredients it did bad things to those who drank it all the time. Odds are they changed it now. So it may be better... But I would still stay far away from Diet Coke. Coke zero however is probably fine. Especially now that people are now aware that too much sugar per day can get turned into bad fat on the body. Or more specifically, difficult to get rid of with diet or exercise. PSA: Stay far away from the Reddit thread about sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Many of the threads and discussions are deliberately misleading and sneaky. Using words like "technically ( or there is no evidence ) high fructose corn syrup is not worse than regular sugar" which is technically correct and really misleading at the same time.
