Lovely Drinks, the independent UK-based producer of soft drinks, has launched two new all-natural colas – original and sour cherry.
The original cola is a natural twist on the classic soda made with lime juice, burnt sugar and hand-blended botanicals, while the sour cherry cola is a naturally fruity soda made with whole-pressed sour cherries and hand-blended botanicals.
Lovely Drinks co-founder Rick Freeman said: “Customers have been asking for years for us to make colas. The two we’ve come up with are based on an original cola recipe that was found years ago, and are made by hand from real botanicals. There’s lemon juice, vanilla and cinnamon in there. The colourings and flavours are all natural and there’s no caffeine in either of the products – and there are real sour cherries in the cherry cola!”
Victoria Earle, co-founder and sales and marketing director for the company, added: “With high media attention on artificial flavourings and consumers becoming more aware of their intake, there is pressure on the soft drinks industry to really think about the content of their products. The use of all-natural high-quality ingredients is not only part of the Lovely Drinks premium positioning but it is an important characteristic of the overall soft drinks industry. We are constantly developing products and exploring how best to the most natural soft drinks without the use of artificial sweeteners and without compromising the taste.”
“We are absolutely thrilled to be introducing two all-natural colas to the premium soft drinks market.”
The products will be available in 275ml bottle format.
