I stumbled across a can of 7UP Tropical the other day, and as a dedicated seeker of limited-edition sodas, I knew I had to give it a try. From the first sip, one thing was immediately clear: this isn’t just a soda—it’s a mocktail in disguise.
The flavor profile leans heavily into tropical notes, with a smooth blend of pineapple and coconut that immediately reminded me of Malibu coconut rum—minus the alcohol. It’s light, refreshing, and carries a sweetness that feels tailor-made for a summer drink by the pool. In fact, it brought back memories of an LA Sunrise, a fruity cocktail I once had, which shared a very similar taste.
What I appreciate about 7UP Tropical is that it doesn’t just throw in fruit flavors at random. Instead, it feels intentional, almost like a bartender designed it to be a ready-made base for a nonalcoholic cocktail. I can easily see this being mixed with grenadine for a DIY Tropical Shirley Temple or paired with a splash of club soda to dial back the sweetness.
As far as limited sodas go, this one is a winner. If you're a fan of tropical flavors or looking for a soda that feels like a vacation in a can, 7UP Tropical delivers.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely.
