HOTLIPS Soda hotlipssoda.com

Soda for people who don’t like soda. Not too sweet, a nicer taste, better for health and positive for nature. (Creating a market for local berries helps to sustain these crops which are increasingly under pressure.) The un-Coke?

HLS says: “We worship the Pacific Northwest and the incredible fruit that grows here. We offer it to you in a bottle. It’s called HOTLIPS Soda. We brew a premier soda with superior local fruit, water, cane sugar and organic lemon juice. It’s that simple. Each sip tells a story of the fruit, the place, the dedicated growers, and our traditional brewing process. There’s maximum taste. Shifts in flavor, surprising notes, new harmonies in every sip.

HOTLIPS Soda is real fruit soda pop. Ripe, fresh locally grown fruit is cooked in open kettles to bring out the flavors, seeds are filtered out (but not fruit pulp), water, pure cane sugar and organic lemon juice are added, it is carbonated and put into bottles. It’s that simple. No small percentages of real fruit. No shortcuts, supplements, artificial flavors, concentrates or trickery. And no corn syrup.”
