Massages, saunas, meditation… none of this will bring lasting relaxation if your sleep is not restful! This is now widely known and has even developed into a new trend: sleep tourism. In other words, traveling to (finally) get a really good night’s sleep. Usually embedded…
Walking is not just healthy, it also allows you to experience a destination at your own natural pace. Unlike hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tours, walking allows you to see the whole picture of a destination. Here are some (scientific and sustainable) arguments in favor of walking.…
Am I the only one who thought that a “continental breakfast” would consist of breakfast delicacies from all seven continents? Think again! If you have booked accommodation with this type of breakfast, you can expect little more than a roll with butter, jam and a few slices of cheese and meats alongside your coffee. That’s not enough for me! (And we can skip the meat altogether!)

A soda jerk in Texas in 1920. IMAGE: Wikimedia Commons
Th drink originated in the United States. In the 1920s, soda bars were all the rage, and soda jerks would mix drinks fresh with soda water, milk, ice cream, or egg, depending on the customer’s preference.
Today, cream soda is usually a sweet, carbonated lemonade with vanilla flavoring (though it doesn’t contain milk or cream). In the U.S., it’s often golden brown, but in Japan, there are also pink and green varieties flavored with cotton candy or melon.
In German-speaking countries, cream soda is not a standard supermarket beverage. Instead, it is often only available as an imported product in U.S./U.K. or Asian sections. (Note: Mass-produced brands like A&W (U.S.) and Barr (U.K.) typically contain artificial flavors, colors, and corn syrup.
You’ll have the smallest ecological footprint if you use cream soda syrups that you carbonate or mix with sparkling water yourself.)
Summer Smash Lemonade with Cream Soda and Berries
The SCHWARZWALD PANORAMA in Bad Herrenalb shared its recipe for this refreshing summer drink. A sophisticated flavor with berries, cream soda, and a pinch of salt and chili to finish it off!!
100mlelderflower syrup or agave syrup for natural sweetness
150mlmineral waterfresh and bubbly
ice cubes
2tbspmint leaves
lime slices for garnish
splashchili or ginger syrup for a little kick(optional)
sea salt
Instructions
Place the berries in a small bowl and mash them into a purée. Set a few whole berries aside for garnish.
Pour freshly squeezed lime juice into a glass or shaker and mix it well with either elderflower or agave syrup.
Hand-pluck the mint leaves and add them to the lime juice along with ice cubes. Then, shake or stir the mixture vigorously.
Fill the three serving glasses with the berry purée first, and then top them off with the lime-mint mixture.
Now, carefully stir in the sparkling mineral water and cream soda.
Here's an optional tip from the hotel bartender: "If you like it spicy, add a splash of chili or ginger syrup. It gives the lemonade a cool kick that perfectly balances the fruity sweetness."
Garnish & Serve: Garnish with fresh berries, lime slices, and mint leaves. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for an added kick that perfectly rounds out the flavor and enhances the fruitiness.
