DRY Soda Co. is introducing Botanical Bitters & Soda as one of the first ready-to-drink, zero-proof craft cocktails and they offer depth of flavor without the alcohol. Inspired by craft mixology, the Botanical Bitters & Soda can be found in three flavorful varieties: Aromatic, Bright/Herbal and Sweet/Spicy. As the brand describes, "DRY Botanical Bitters & Soda deconstructs the flavors in traditional bitters and re-layers them with new notes for a complex non-alcoholic craft cocktail experience."
The ready-to-drink products are packaged in premium glass bottles and sold in packs of four, so that people can appreciate refreshing alternatives to alcohol that are made with zero sugar, non-GMO ingredients and natural flavors. While the Aromatic variety shares hints of zesty citrus peel, cinnamon and clove, Bright/Herbal fuses ginger, lavender, orange, cardamom, sage, lemon and grapefruit.
