DRY Botanical Bubbly, formerly DRY Soda, is introducing a fresh new identity and packaging that helps to differentiate its offerings from high-sugar craft sodas and sugar-free sparkling water beverages. The beverage brand carved a niche for itself as a non-alcoholic alternative for "celebration occasions"—which have the potential to encompass major milestones and everyday moments worth remembering. The flavors of the culinary-inspired beverages remain unchanged and they are easier to pair with different foods thanks to a new "spin the bottle" tool on the brand's site.
According to DRY founder and CEO Sharelle Klaus, "People are being much more mindful of their alcohol consumption, alcohol sales are down and Millennials are referring to themselves as the ‘Sober Generation.’"
