What are some good alkaline flavors?

What are some easily-obtainable flavors that have a pleasant taste when in an alkaline solution? Are there any suitable for flavoring a sweet beverage with an overall pH of 7 or above? (By alkaline, I mean actually has pH greater than 7 in your mouth. I'm not referring to those lists of foods floating around alternative medicine sites that are claimed to raise your urine pH.)

In general, acids are ...acidic - and sour. The opposite flavours would be sweet, or earthy. I can't think of any specifically. Try testing some of your favourite flavours.

I was gonna say, but figured it went without saying that 'alkalies would go well with non-sour things' :D I was surprised to find (cow) milk is acidic.
