The brand has long been associated with celebrations and special occasions; these innovative, calorie-free additions to the range now give consumers permission’ to drink Shloer more frequently, creating a bridge to everyday usage. “Shloer Zero is zero-calorie and zero-guilt; it offers a way to reduce calories without having to compromise on taste.”
