What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the refrigerated craft-soda or better-for-you beverage aisle — the kind of bottle you grab for a sunny brunch or to make a nostalgic soda float. It reads like a lighter, slightly more wholesome twist on classic grape soda: fizzy, fruity and a bit indulgent but positioned as health-forward thanks to organic juice and a live probiotic. The ingredient list (juice from concentrate, carbonation, and ‘natural flavor’) and added acids suggest industrial formulation and flavoring steps typical of highly processed beverages rather than a single-ingredient fresh juice.
