Non-alcoholic sparkling hop water brand HOPWTR teamed up with the brand behind Hot Girl Pickles to bring their respective areas of expertise to a unique HOPWTR x Good Girl Snacks collaboration: Pickle Lemonade. At a time when the demand for all things that taste like pickle has yet to let up, a limited-edition, co-branded Pickle Lemonade flavor dropped to share a savory twist on the classic summertime refreshment. Pickle Lemonade, packaged by the can, is said to be crisp, refreshing and slightly unexpected for the way it unites bright, tart lemonade with savory brine.
To support the release of this unconventionally flavored non-alcoholic sparkling hop water, HOPWTR and Good Girl Snacks are offering free samples in Los Angeles via Summer Pilates in late June and Forte Vita in early July.
