Edgy canned water brand Liquid Death is getting into the creation of flavored sparkling waters that retain the brand's same strong spirit. The brand's customers have been asking for flavored versions of its sparkling water and Liquid Death is now quenching thirsts with varieties like Severed Lime, Berry It Alive and Mango Chainsaw.
As ever, heavy metal branding and sustainability are alive and well in the brand and its new flavors carve out a sweet spot in a competitive market. As Mike Cessario, co-founder and CEO of Liquid Death, told Dieline, "Many flavored options fall in the zero-zero-zero category—zero carbs, zero calories, zero sugar, and often zero flavor. On the other end of the spectrum, there are super sweet sodas with tons of sugar or intense sweeteners." These new 20-calorie beverages are lightly sweetened with three grams of real agave nectar.
