The brand Grown-up Soda, also known as GuS, is now offering a Dry Blackberry flavor along with a series of other fruit-based soda beverages.
The brand touts itself as a soda brand for "adults," which offers cleaner and simpler ingredients than those that most soda brands feature in their beverages. Its products contain 40% less sugar than its popular competitors, and the brand also avoids artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors and preservatives. The small-batch Dry Blackberry flavor has a strong berry flavor without being overtly sweet, and the brand suggests that consumers drink it chilled and without ice.
This refreshing Dry Blackberry soda offered by GuS is pasteurized, vegan, and free of GMOs, gluten, and caffeine.
