A Question About La Casera - 08/31/03 11:48 PM

I will be visiting Madrid in several weeks. I have an extra bag that collapses into my main bag that I can use to bring stuff home with me. I have figured out that I have about 15 to 18 pounds left in my baggage allowance upon my return. I plan on stuffing the whole thing with La Casera . (I can get Machego, pimenton, Spanish wine and conservas in Minneapolis!)

My question is-Should I go with the liters,
1/2 liters or the 2 liters? Or should I mix them up? Maybe some cans?

An interesting point about La Casera. I only drink it when is Spain and then I usually mix it with wine. I have noticed however that La Casera has changed in the past 25 years. It used to be naturally sweetened, and had a crisp refreshing taste (I have to plug the similarity to Sprite / 7-Up), I have noticed however that at some point about 7 years ago that La Casera is now partially sweetened with ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER!. All this perhaps in the interest of economics...Like my madrileno friend says "son todos ladrones". Too bad.
