I tried making an arrangement recipe using POP Melon Soda and CC Lemon from Suntory's 'Home Drink Bar,' which allows you to easily mix cola and juice to create a drink bar.

At the drink bar, in addition to choosing your favorite drink, you can also enjoy mixing and arranging multiple drinks. The concentrated drinks ' Home Drink Bar POP Melon Soda ' and ' Home Drink Bar CC Lemon ' were released on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, making it easy to enjoy this experience at home, so I tried out various recipes.

Concentrated beverages that you can make your favorite drink just by mixing with carbonated water 'Home Drink Bar POP Melon Soda' and 'CC Lemon' are now available! | News Release List | Suntory Beverage & Food International

This is 'Home Drink Bar CC Lemon' and 'Home Drink Bar POP Melon Soda'.

The cap says 'split type.'

You can make about 10 cups with one bottle. The ingredients of 'Home Drink Bar CC Lemon' are sugar, lemon juice, etc.

The energy content per 100ml is 150kcal.

The raw materials of 'Home Drink Bar POP Melon Soda' are sugar, flavoring, etc. It does not contain melon juice.

The energy content per 100ml is 132kcal.

The recommended ratio is 1:4 between home drink bar and carbonated water.

As recommended, pour the carbonated water first, then pour the home drink bar.

The finished product looks like this.

Depending on how you mix it, you can enjoy a different flavor from the original 'CC Lemon.' In this case, I didn't mix it strictly 4:1, so it ended up being a little sweeter than the original CC Lemon.

Similarly, we made POP Melon Soda. When you bring the glass close to your mouth, a sweet aroma rises up and the rich, sweet flavor of melon soda fills your mouth.

Since there were recipes for variations, I mixed the 'Home Drink Bar CC Lemon' with Pepsi Cola to make 'Pep CC,' and with Natchan Orange to make 'CC Orange.' Since there have been

lemon-flavored Pepsi Cola in the past, 'Pep CC' feels more like a standard variation than a new drink. On the other hand, 'CC Orange' was sour but twice as sweet, and felt like a citrus soda that was much sweeter than CC Lemon.

For the 'Home Drink Bar POP Melon Soda,' we mixed it with Decavita C to make 'Decamelon,' and with Pepsi Cola to make 'Melomelo Pepsi.' As you can see from the bright green color of the 'Decamelon,' the flavor of the POP Melon Soda is strong, and when combined with the sweetness of Decavita, it turns into a carbonated drink with a sharp sweetness. On the other hand, the 'Melomelo Pepsi' is a product that Pepsi Cola seems to have made in a similar way.

Of course, at a drink bar you're free to mix things up however you like without being bound by recipes, so be sure to experiment and find the combination that suits your tastes.
