Coke introduces Cascal all-natural French style soda

Cascal’s fresh, crisp taste is fashioned with imported European ingredients at a microbrewery in Florida, where it is pioneering a patented new “dual-stage slow malt fermentation” method with no added sugar. Fermented malt is used in the Light Red and Fine Dry flavours.

Cascal is akin to a fine wine or prosecco, yet without alcohol. Careful crafting gives the sophisticated French-style soda its unique taste and aroma and natural goodness – with 60-80 calories per bottle.

“We are excited to be offering Cascal exclusively in our stores,” said Jim Spiers, global vice president of purchasing for Whole Foods Market. “Cascal is the first non-alcoholic beverage to bridge the gap between fine wines and soft drinks. It meets all our high quality standards and is a perfect complement to the upcoming holiday meal and party season.”

“We brought Cascal to life to appeal to the savvy consumer, so our partnership with Whole Foods Market for our national launch is ideal,” said Sreten Gajic, Cascal general manager. “You can bring French flair to your lunch experience, but without the afternoon nap. And Cascal can add a sparkle to any social occasion.”

Cascal is available in three blends: Crisp White, with notes of pear, apricot and magnolia; Light Red, with notes of blackcurrant, cherry and mirabelle; and Fine Dry, with notes of cherry, apple and anise. The drink is packaged in recyclable 33cl glass bottles – available in singles and stylish 4-packs.
