With a proprietary blend of infused gas and natural flavor, Loftiwater is shaking up the beverage category as a new brand of "shimmering water," or non-carbonated fizzy water. Unlike traditional carbonated water drinks that are made by adding carbon dioxide under pressure, these fizzy beverages work with other gases to achieve microbubbles with no burn. Touted as "the third water," Loftiwater can be found in refreshing varieties like Black Cherry, Peach, Strawberry and other tried-and-true fruit flavors.
Unlike other fizzy drinks, these ones lack the acidic bite and they have fizziness that lasts. Appealing to those who want alternative refreshments to sodas, these drinks are free of preservatives and made with only water and natural flavors in the form of fruit essences.
