Lips taste salty when I lick them

When I drink Ribena it tastes fine until I lick my lips after and then they taste salty. I've tried water and it doesn't happen. Only with ribena.

Dehydration, dry mouth, bleeding gums or chapped lips are common causes of a salty taste that has only been around a few days. Any underlying medical or dental disease may be other chronic causes.
Next Steps
Kindly get your dental and medical check up done if problem persists longer.
Health Tips
Treatment involves drinking plenty of water, chewing sugar-free gum, and avoiding overly salty and spicy foods.
