Cicero Beverage Co., headquartered in Chicago, has garnered significant attention due to its certification as a Women-Owned Business. This distinction has piqued the interest of my girlfriend, who appreciates the company’s commitment to gender equality.
Despite its prominence, the company’s history remains relatively obscure. This may be attributed to the fact that women, unlike men, often refrain from publicly showcasing their achievements.
Cicero Beverage Co. is also renowned for its Capone, a distinctive beverage that has received mixed reviews. A web search revealed that the company’s journey to creating this unique root beer began when it sought to identify the most flavorful root beer. After sampling a delectable caramel candy, the company conceived the idea of Salted Caramel Root Beer, which has since become a popular choice among consumers.
Upon opening, the beverage emitted a distinct caramel aroma. This is one of the most aromatic beverages I have encountered. Initially, the sweetness overwhelmed me, evoking the image of a large batch of caramels being melted and carbonated before being consumed. A hint of vanilla is also discernible. Furthermore, I immediately recognized the high sodium content of this drink, which exceeded my tolerance. Of the over 70 brews I have reviewed, only one, Sky Valley Organic, had a higher sodium level (rated 3.25 out of 12), while all but three were significantly lower.
This product scored higher in the zip rating, not due to its complexity, but rather for its intense caramel and salt flavor profile. While these aspects may not be considered highly desirable, the zip rating is still acknowledged.
The beverage’s sweetness is excessive. While it may appeal to those who enjoy caramel and salt, I rate it 1.5 out of 3.
This dessert is a delectable choice for an intense and indulgent caramel experience. However, it may be excessive if you intend to accompany it with a beverage, such as beer or a cocktail, or if you plan to engage in a stimulating conversation. Therefore, it is advisable to consider your personal preferences before attempting this dessert. While I find it difficult to dislike, I prefer a serving size of approximately 6 ounces.
