Sunday Obsession: Cheerwine


As summer is inching closer (if we’re honest…it’s Florida…it’s felt like summer since about March 1st), all kinds of summery things are on my mind: the beach, the pool, cute bathing suits, sun hats, frozen margaritas…

And perhaps it is because I am daydreaming about being in the sunshine…but I wanted to share one of my summer obsessions…

See?  It's a "thing" up in North Carolina.  This was found in Mt. Airy.
Cheerwine. Have y’all heard of it? It is quite possibly my favorite beverage, although I try not to drink it too very often. It’s a very cherry soda. It originated in North Carolina, and is what I consider a Southern delicacy. In fact, up in North Carolina it can be found on tap. I was just about in hog heaven when I visited a few years ago. It is celebrating its centennial this year, having been bottled since 1917.

To me, nothing is quite as summery as sitting at the beach with an ice-cold bottle of Cheerwine.
