poppi's take on a classic childhood drink, the Shirley Temple, has officially joined its better-for-you prebiotic soda range, and to celebrate this new fizzy flavor, poppi and PopUp Bagels collaborated on a limited-edition Shirley Schmear.

poppi's take on the iconic soda mocktail is made with a base of sparkling water, cassava root fiber, organic cane sugar, apple juice concentrate, plus organic ACV and a few other sweet and simple additions for flavor and (natural vegetable) color.
