I was intrigued by the idea of a tarragon soda when I heard they had one at
Taron Bakery, my favorite Armenian bakery in Hollywood. From what I can tell, gazoz means soda (or gas) in Turkish, but this brand appears to be Armenian. The bottle claims it's a "fresh and natural choice," though it's hard to believe that the fluorescent green color comes from anything natural.
Gazoz has a nice, minty/licorice flavor, and indeed, tastes a lot like tarragon. It actually tastes a bit like absinthe, which makes sense since tarragon is an ingredient in
some absinthes. Overall, it's a pleasant, refreshing drink, perfect to wash down some boreks.
