Orange Soda FAQ
Orange soda, with its unique sweet and citrusy flavor, is commonly consumed as a stand-alone beverage. However, some may not realize that it can also lend its bright character to a variety of recipes, both sweet and savory. The most common issue when using orange soda in cooking is not accounting for its sweetness. Remember that it not only provides moisture but also sugar, which can potentially throw off the balance of flavors in your dish if not correctly accounted for. Substitute it for similarly sweet ingredients, or reduce the amount of additional sugar in your recipes. One way to maximize the use of orange soda is by incorporating it in marinades. Its acidity can help tenderize meat while its sweetness helps to caramelize and create beautiful browning when cooked. Furthermore, it can also be reduced into a syrup to glaze various baked goods or used to make a unique salad dressing when paired with a bit of vinegar. An underutilized trick with orange soda is in baking. If you swap the liquid in your cake recipe with orange soda, you end up with a moist cake that carries a subtle hint of citrus. Above all, remember to experiment with orange soda, it's a delightful ingredient that can add a twist to many classic recipes.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does orange soda expire?
In an unopened plastic bottle, orange soda lasts about 3-4 months past the printed date; in an unopened can, it's good for 6-9 months past the printed date. Once opened, it's best to consume it within 2-3 days, kept refrigerated and tightly sealed. Freezing is not recommended, as it could compromise the integrity of the soda can or bottle.
How do you tell if orange soda is bad?
It's pretty easy to recognize bad orange soda. Its carbonation will be greatly reduced; it can be flat or might have a stale smell. If you notice any off-colors or discern an unusual or foul smell, it is likely that your soda has gone bad. Strange flavors are another indicator that your orange soda should be tossed.
Tips for storing orange soda to extend shelf life
• Always make sure to keep your orange soda in a cool and dark place like a cupboard or pantry and away from direct sunlight. This is to preserve its taste and prevent any chemical changes. • Once opened, remember to always seal the cap tightly. This helps to preserve the soda's fizziness and hinder bacterial growth. • Although not necessary, keeping your orange soda in the refrigerator after opening can retain its flavor and fizzy characteristic for a longer time.
