The Hip Pop Berries & Cherries soda is the brand's latest flavor of its signature free-from refreshment that's crafted with the warm weather seasons in mind to offer consumers a way to deliciously quench their thirst.
The soda is crafted with a blend of sweet cherries, blueberries and strawberries in the mix, while still maintaining a low-calorie, naturally sweet profile. The soda also features live bacterial cultures to support good gut health, while a bit of apple cider vinegar and fiber give it a well-rounded profile that's perfect for incorporating into one's daily diet.
Co-Founder Emma Thackray spoke on the Hip Pop Berries & Cherries soda saying, "Berries & Cherries is our juiciest flavour yet – full of real fruit flavours and added feel-good benefits. More people want soft drinks that do more than just taste good, and this one delivers. We’re excited to be giving people their first taste at the Farm Shop & Deli Show – it’s the perfect way to kick off the season."
