Family-owned Hotlips Soda out of Portland, Oregon is set to change the idea that pop can't be healthy. These all-natural fizzy fruit drinks are made with vine-ripened, local fruit such as raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, apples, pears and boysenberries.
Sweetened with cane sugar and carbonated, Hotlips Soda is a treat for your mouth. The beverages are hand-bottled, providing these unique drinks with even more love and care.
