I Found My Firefly!
The first time I had this lovely and refreshing British beverage, I was traveling in Amsterdam. A weary vagabond, I tasted the ginger, lemon, and lime combo and was instantly revitalized. I was so impressed by the light and earthy taste of the juice that I saved the label and taped it into my travel journal. Upon my return I looked for it in food stores all over New York, but the results were disappointing. I tried other juices- all were too sweet, or not as complex and interesting, or worst of all, they contained any number of non- natural ingredients. In Berlin a year later, I found Firefly at KDV, an upscale shopping center where you can find all sorts of delicious things (there's a champagne and oyster bar too!). So, its not surprising that I have finally found Firefly in the States; at the Water Tower Center in Chicago, while traveling of course. Whether I have chased this drink around the world, or it has followed me, does not really matter. We have found each other once more, and I hope to make this infrequent travel companion a staple in my everyday gustatory adventures.
