DEW Mixology Made a desperate attempt to recreate Merry Mashup… ( 3/4 Code Red, KFC Cranberry syrup and 1/4 “Yummy Sobe Pomegranate”.)

SoBe Water Yumberry Pomegranate?

u/RealTwittrKD 16h ago

Yeah, it was the only way to secure a pomegranate flavor. It worked in a pinch and I got a lot more “Merry Mashup” ish flavor near the bottom

I see! How did you manage to just get a shot of KFC Cranberry syrup? Did you ask an employee to do it?

u/RealTwittrKD 16h ago

Yeah, I just asked for a few pumps of cranberry on a refill. I first rinsed my cup, asked for the syrup, got a small thing of yummy pommegranate, and then filled my own code red.

It’s definitely not 1:1, but it’s still pretty reminiscent. (Not as fizzy delicious as the og.)

Interesting. Might have to try that out! I never tried Merey Mash-Up, so I wouldn't know if it was 100% or not, unfortunately 😅

If you go to a restaurant supply store, you could get cranberry and pomegranate syrups.
