The brand describes holy basil as "slightly minty then spicy" and likens it to fragrant, sweet warm spices like clove with mint and licorice notes. Naturally green and sweet, holy basil adds refreshing depth and interest to fruit-flavored sparkling water. This limited-edition sparkling water flavor is sugar-free and calorie-free, and its simple ingredient list builds on a base of carbonated water with the titular ingredients, plus mango extract. Every Aura Bora beverage is packaged with a label featuring a playful character. Neigh Slayer, the whimsical representation of Pineapple Holy Basil, is a sea horse with a penchant for playing the saxophone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 22% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Herb-infused Beverages:** Exploring the combination of herbaceous ingredients in flavored beverages offers a new sensory experience for consumers. - **Limited-edition Flavors:** Creating exclusive and seasonal flavors can drive excitement and engagement with consumers looking for unique beverage options. - **Character-branded Packaging:** Incorporating playful characters on beverage packaging can enhance brand storytelling and create a memorable visual identity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Beverage:** Innovating with herbal infusions in the beverage industry can cater to health-conscious consumers seeking flavorful and natural options. - **Food and Beverage Marketing:** Developing limited-edition flavors in the food and beverage industry can drive consumer interest and foster brand loyalty. - **Packaging Design:** Utilizing character-branded packaging in various industries can differentiate products on the shelves and resonate with target audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Banana Bergamot Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-bergamot-sparkling-water.md) - [Juicy Vanilla Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-bora-sparkling-water.md) - [Sparkling Water Secret Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-bora.md) - [Spicy-Sweet Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watermelon-chili-sparkling-water.md) - [Spiced Pumpkin Sparkling Water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-bora-pumpkin-spice.md) - [Zesty Cherry Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-key-lime.md) - [Festive Sparkling Berry Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chai-cranberry.md) - [Apple Cinnamon Sparkling Water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-cinnamon-sparkling-water.md) - [Autumnal Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-pumpkin-sparkling-water.md)
