Caribou's new BOUsted Caffeinated Beverages are a lineup of sparkling drinks that feature the same energy boost of caffeine, but without the coffee taste. Instead, the drinks come in a variety of fruit-forward flavors, and are made without the use of artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, or artificial preservatives. As far as the drinks themselves go, there are three different options available depending on the level of sweetness you desire. For instance, the [Craft Soda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-sugar-craft-soda) BOUst drinks are sparkling waters sweetened with fruit flavors, while the Sparkling Water BOUst beverages contain sparkling water and just a hint of fruit flavor. Finally, the Juice BOUst (Sparkling or Blended) drinks combine juices and fruit flavors in either sparkling or blended form.
