Coke has Mezzo-Mix which is a Fanta & Cola mix. A major brand of pre-mixed beer is Mixery, which is a cola-bier mix. I've also enjoyed some Grapefruit & Hefeweizen blends from Frankfurt. Apple juice & sparkling water is one of my favorites here and Sophie loves them.

Sadly,, I did not get a chance to Berlinerweiße, though I did get a chance to drink some Köstritzer (Schwartzbier) which was very very yumy! Thanks for the tip!

"I have found that the Germans will mix just about any drink"

... beer and raspberry syrup... you know, 'normal' mixers. d:

seriously--try a Berlinerweiße when you get to Berlin. It's a tart/sour wheat beer that's their local brewing claim to fame, and it's a good summertime drink. They'll ask if you want it "rot oder grün"--raspberry or woodruff syrups blended in, respectively. If you're feeling intrepid, you could try and get them to give it to you without a shot, but I hear they don't usually believe you if you try and order that.

I like it ohne Schuss, but it may be an acquired taste. With syrup, it's a much easier (if candier) drink. ...NB: The only ones I've had have been American interpretations; I don't get the impression they think it's a drink worth exporting. Hope you like it.

peace,

I loved the Schnitzel with Green Sauce - it was like the spaghetti we used to get at the Peruvian restaurant...
