US-based Waterloo Sparkling Water has expanded its line of carbonated water with the launch of a limited-edition passion fruit flavour. The passion fruit sparkling water is "delightfully bright with an aroma that lures you into a tropical burst of fruit flavours". All flavours are made with non-GMO project verified natural flavouring and purified carbonated water. Adam Price, SVP of operations and flavour development lead at Waterloo, commented: "An island vacation with relaxing, tropical vibes was our inspiration. Over the course of ten months, we meticulously crafted our flavour, full of fresh-ripe, true-to-fruit and zingy-tart notes. Once we dialled in the earthy notes, we arrived at a bright, layered and complex tropical flavour with a fruity aroma – perfectly balanced and refreshing to drink wherever you are." The limited-edition flavour will be available at US retailers nationwide beginning this month, including Whole Foods, HEB, Central Market, select regions of Costco and Hy-Vee, during the summer season only.
