Head to these soda spots for a fizzy fix of locally made or offbeat colas.


La Grande Orange Grocery

La Grande Orange grocery offers a boutique-like collection of cane-sugar sodas. The offerings include Mexican sodas, original-formula Dr. Peppers, Mr. Q Cumber Soda and mango- and pineapple-flavored sodas from Hawaii-based Waialua Soda Works. (Hours: 6:30 a.m.-10 p.m., daily)

Cider Mill Market

7240 E. Main St., Ste. C-100, Scottsdale
480-994-1366

To brewmaster Scott Yarosh, cream sodas just aren’t what they used to be. He attempts to recall the mellow, softer colas of the 1950s through a distinctive brewing style that focuses on slow carbonation and meticulously crafted flavors. Try the classic vanilla, orange and root beer sodas ($2.95 on draft, $4 for 22-ounce bottles). (Hours: 10 a.m.-4 p.m., M-Sa)
