The [Hella Cocktail Co.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hella-margaritas) Bitters & Soda line has now been expanded to include three new flavors: Grapefruit, Lemon Lime and Ginger Turmeric. Appealing to sober-curious consumers, these [non-alcoholic sparkling apéritifs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-botanical-aperitivo) share the refreshing flavor of a gentian tincture made in the South of France.

These ready-to-drink flavors combine unique ingredients like bitter roots, bark, spices, fruit and botanicals, which are known for their ability to support and stimulate healthy digestive functions. While the Bitters & Soda Grapefruit and Bitters & Soda Lemon Lime varieties are enhanced with allspice and bitter root, the Bitters & Soda Ginger Turmeric flavor is balanced by orange peel.

These all-natural flavors are zero-sugar, gluten-free and vegan, and they can be mixed with alcohol to create low-alcohol serves.
