At first sniff this reminded me of when I was little…in Buffalo…my mom would always buy “Loganberry Soda” (Loganberry Pop). I haven’t had it in YEARS and don’t even think they sell it anymore…maybe in rare places in Western NY, not sure!
After infusion I smell the green tea accompanying the berries – ready to drink!
It tastes a lot like a green tea would…but more of a celery tasting green than a grassy green and the elderberries buddy-up nicely! Looking forward to trying this iced but hot is good for now!

It was Aunt Rosie’s Loganberry…here’s some info…more coming soon!
The most popular commercial version is ‘Aunt Rosie’s’, which is commonly enjoyed in Western New York. ‘Aunt Rosie’s’ is distributed by the local Pepsi-Cola bottling operation out of Buffalo and is found in local restaurants and establishments.2 A smaller, more local version of Loganberry juice is available to locals in New York’s Capital District and Buffalo, NY, under the name of PJ’s Crystal Beach Loganberry Juice, available in Sparkling and Diet. According to the Crystal Beach loganberry can, loganberry juice originated at PJ’s barbecue in Saratoga Springs, NY. Loganberries may also be purchased in their syrup form in local supermarkets for use at home.23
Loganberry is now offered at Mighty Taco fast food restaurants in Western New York by Johnnie Ryan Beverages 1, a local soft drink manufacturer from Niagara Falls, NY. It was previously available at Tim Hortons locations in Fort Erie, ON. Loganberry has also made its way to Indiana, where it is served at Avers Pizza in Bloomington.
