Blake’s Hard Cider (BHC) has launched ‘Sorta Pop’ probiotic soda, a non-alcoholic beverage that marks a first in the brand’s portfolio. ‘Sorta Pop’ comes in three real fruit-infused flavors, including ‘Tangerine,’ ‘Strawberry-Watermelon-Lemon,’ and ‘Lemon Lime.’ The beverage has no gluten, no caffeine, only 25 calories, and three to six grams of sugar from the monk fruit. Over a million probiotics per can are included in the new drinks, which can help consumers maintain gut health and a healthy digestive system.
Blake’s Hard Cider is an independent, family-owned craft cidery specializing in fermenting its apples on-site. The brand’s ‘Sorta Pop’ is the perfect Dry January companion that is better for you without compromising taste.
“Coming from Blake’s 77 years’ experience growing, picking, and pressing our harvest, exploring a healthy, alternative beverage made with real fruit is a natural extension for us,” said Chelsea Cox, BHC Director of Marketing and Product Development. “As consumers become more selective and educated in their beverage choices, that shift makes way for a better-for-you beverage like Sorta Pop that delivers great flavor, bubbles, plus health benefits.”
