With many consumers fixated on healthy craft sodas, there have been tons of new [natural cola beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jones-zero-cola) created. However, none of them feature quite as many globally inspired ingredients as Fever-Tree's all-new 'Madagascan Cola.'

This natural cola drink includes a range of ingredients, such as Nigerian kola nut, Indonesian cassia, Mexican lime and Madagascan vanilla, which all create flavor without artificial sweeteners or preservatives.

What makes this new addition to Fever-Tree's product assortment particularly noteworthy is that it introduces a new way for consumers to use it as a mixer that's "perfectly balanced for dark spirits," such as premium bourbon, rum and whiskey. The product comes in a [single-serve size](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allnatural-mixers), as well as a slightly larger bottle that's ideal for splitting with friends.
