For anyone who likes diet soda, check out Zevia. It's sweetened with Stevia instead of aspartame. Doesn't taste too bad either. Makes a great vodka mixer since it's 0 calories.

Unfortunately I've never tasted anything with Stevia that I like. Weird, weird aftertaste.

Aspartame has an aftertaste but I got used to it after maybe three tries. I've never gotten used to Stevia.

Too bad, because in other ways Stevia is superior.

I like fizzy drinks, so lately I've been mostly drinking unsweetened, like La Croix or Spindrift.
