Almdudleywhatsit?

almdudler
The self-proclaimed national drink of Austria, auf der Alm dudeln - "singing in the meadows" - why, yes, that is exactly how one feels when one drinks Almdudler. As they say, Wenn die kan Almdudler hab'n dann geh'i wieder ham! "If they don't have Almdudler, I'll go back home!"

And I agree. I've loved this since my first encounter with it more than 10 years ago. Straight up or mixed with beer, as a radler. Yes, yes, that's all fine, but what exactly is this krauterlimonade? An herb-infused citrus soda? Yes, that's all it is. Delicious too, tastes a bit similar to a less-fizzy ginger ale. Not ginger beer, but ginger ale. Oh, and it inspires dudeln and tanzn, so watch out. It is available in the U.S., you'll just have to search for it. Like this poor guy:
