Every conceivable soda seems to be available at this partially on-the-road-partially-in-a-booth kind of place. At Madeena stores, you pick up a token for your drink and the guy at the counter squirts in some concentrate, opens a spout that gushes cold soda, stirs up a little salt into your drink, another gush of soda and there you have it. The rose soda was subtle and not Rooh Afza mixed in soda that I am sure you are thinking of. The kokum too, thanks to the salt was not attacking the enamel of my teeth. The pomegranate however reminded me of this antibiotic that was an integral part of my childhood — erythromycin — a pink, frothy and yucky, cough syrup.
