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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spindrift-1) and DrinkRockaway.com. The launch of Lime Mint reinforces ROCKAWAY Soda’s edge in the [better-for-you beverage category](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spindrift-soda), 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.
