Bollygood is a newly launched brand specializing in Indian-inspired sparkling drinks. The new line of beverages, which has just made its U.S. debut, borrows heavily from the recipes of a South Indian drink called Nimbu Pani, which is often described as "limeade" that blends salty, sour, and tangy flavors.
However, one key difference between Nimbu Pani and Bollygood is that the latter contains significantly less sugar and boasts an all-natural ingredient list, making it a healthy beverage option for adults and kids. In addition, Bollygood is made using pink Himalayan salt and contains added carbonation.
As of right now, Bollygood is being offered in two new flavors: Lime Basil Cumin and Lemon Ginger Mint. However, the brand has stated that additional flavors are currently in development.
