Slingshot Coffee is now sharing two new Coffee Soda products that were developed based off of the founders' favorite soft drink flavors. At the base of the beverages is Slingshot's award-winning cold brew coffee, along with natural cane sugar as a sweetener and real fruit juice to make up the Black Cherry Cola and Citrus Vanilla Cream Soda flavors.
These new coffee-soda hybrids are packaged in stout eight-ounce cans and Slingshot Coffee describes them as "approachable, fun and highly chuggable."
While many consumers are shying away from traditional soda products, these ones boast just a third of the sugar that can be found in comparable products and offer a unique flavor experience that will appeal to coffee lovers who are thirsty for a taste of something new.
