We first heard of Sidral Mundet apple soda from the Jarritos website. I stared drinking Jarritos soda back in 2008 because it is made with cane sugar. I try to avoid the high fructose corn syrup that’s in most popular sodas. The CVS near us sells Jarritos in flavors of lemon (limon), fruit punch, orange (mandarin), strawberry (fresa), pineapple (pina), tamarind, and Jamaica. They also sell alcohol-free Sangria Senorial that’s also made by Jarritos. We looked at the Jarritos website and learned of Sidral Mundet. It seemed to be very popular in Mexico. They even have silly commercials where a guy gets together with a pretty woman by chance after drinking some Sidral Mundet.
Since learning about Sidral Mundet, I’d been checking the soda section of CVS every time I went there to see if they have it. They never did. But on July 26, 2009, a Sunday, I was at Target looking for Ziploc bags and passed their soda section. They had Jarritos for 69 cents, much lower than the $1.39 at CVS. They also had Sidral Mundet. It comes in clear 12 oz glass bottles with a small red and white label at the top that says, “Sidral Mundet, Marca Reg.” (Registered trademark) The name Sidral Mundet is in raised lettering on the bottle itself. I looked up the words in the name. Neither word translates directly to anything but “sidra” means cider.
On Wednesday, July 29, 2009, we tried the Sidral Mundet. It was worth the wait. The apple flavor and carbonation are both strong and complement each other well. It’s more of a soda than a sparkling cider but still has lots of apple flavor. It’s even better than the apple soda we got at BevMo in 2008 (see the Root Beers from BevMo blog). I’m glad we didn’t’ have to go far to get it.
On the bottle cap:
Ingredients: purified carbonated water, sugar, blended apple juice, citric acid, caramel color, and sodium benzoate (as preservative).

In December 2009 we found out that the new King Ranch Supermarket also carries Sidral Mundet and five other apple sodas. We tried one of the others, Sidral Aga, and that was pretty good. Another cheaper one tasted a bit too artificial. We later found some Sidral Mundet green apple soda drink and that was good.
