Almdudler is the brand name of a popular Austrian soft drink. The original Almdudler is a sweetened carbonated beverage flavored with herbs; its flavor is similar to ginger ale or elderflower cordial but with a somewhat stronger and more complex flavor. Almdudler has been called the "national drink of Austria". Its popularity in Austria is second only to Coca Cola; 80 million liters of the beverage are produced yearly.

The Ginger Soda ageed for years in Oak casks and usually available only in Michigan and surrounding areas.
It is the oldest soda in the USA and possibly the world
Like the next drink down...Kimchee drink! On a hot summer day, nothing goes down easier than fermented spicy cabbage juice! I am a fan of kimchee so I'll have to try some before I knock it too much.
I opened it and drank.. and it tasted like cheese in seltzerwater... in a bad way

Vimto and Vegitabeta are missing. I'll remedy that with a quick note to the author. :)

Yark.
Now you can go to Albertsons and get it. Wonderful stuff. I've also had a Jamaican ginger ale served at a vegetarian restaurant in Dallas (I haven't seen this in stores). I don't recall the name of the brand, just that it was so spicy it just about took the top of my head off.
