What You Should Know

You'd find this bottled ginger brew in the craft soda or mixer aisle and reach for it at picnics, backyard barbecues, or as a nostalgic fizzy treat. It tastes spicy-sweet and effervescent—an artisanal-feeling, indulgent soda thanks to pressed organic ginger, but still clearly a sugary soft drink. The short ingredient list hides industrial processing (added cane sugar, natural flavors, citric acid) and a packaged sparkling format that align with ultraprocessed beverage characteristics.
