New Creation Soda Works has introduced an innovative approach to cocktail mixers with the launch of the world’s first paper bottle margarita mix line. Available in fresh squeezed lime and strawberry habanero flavors, the product will debut in Georgia Fresh Market stores in March before expanding nationwide. This move reflects the company's commitment to sustainability, as the fully recyclable paper bottle weighs significantly less than glass and reduces carbon emissions by 84% compared to traditional packaging.
The transition to the paper bottle margarita mix aesthetic aligns with New Creation’s broader focus on environmentally responsible production. Founder Paul Kooistra notes that the decision to adopt this packaging for the newly rebranded Salty Goat Margarita Mix was driven by a desire to offer a more sustainable alternative while maintaining high ingredient quality. The mix itself continues to be made from premium components such as fresh lime juice, raw agave nectar, and ripe strawberries.
