ROCKAWAY Soda just introduced its most refreshing blend yet with the new 'Lime Mint Flavor,' combining tart citrus and crisp mint for a clean, chuggable sip designed to cool you off from late summer through back-to-school season. Created by Rockaway Beach native and serial beverage entrepreneur Bridget Firtle, this latest addition joins a bold lineup of boutique sodas known for real ingredients and no fake stuff.
Each 12 oz can contains just 7g of organic cane sugar, real fruit juice, and a touch of sea salt for natural electrolytes -- all with only 30 calories. Lime Mint joins other fan favorites like 'Watermelon Guava' and 'Pineapple Ginger,' and is now available online via Amazon and DrinkRockaway.com.
The launch of Lime Mint reinforces ROCKAWAY Soda’s edge in the better-for-you beverage category, appealing to health-conscious consumers and fueling growth in both DTC and retail channels. Its seasonal flavor positioning also strengthens brand engagement heading into fall.
