Culture Pop Soda is officially bringing a fresh take to one of the most nostalgic drinks of all time: lemonade. Marking the brand’s first lemonade flavour, the functional beverage leader is introducing Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade. This debut represents a strategic pivot for the category, offering a sophisticated alternative to the traditional ultra-sweet profiles that have long defined it. Staying true to its mission of using simple ingredients that people recognise, Culture Pop delivers a slightly sweet, tart and complex flavour experience without refined sugars or the “weird” aftertaste of artificial and high-intensity sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit.

Unlike traditional lemonades that often rely on a syrupy-sweet profile, Culture Pop’s Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade offers a refreshing, nuanced taste. Sweetened only with organic fruit juices from concentrate, never refined sugar or artificial sweeteners and paired with organic herbs, spices and a live probiotic, the brand has crafted a drink that tastes real and skips the sugar crash. The result is a sophisticated carbonated lemonade designed for a modern palate, one that hits the not-too-sweet spot while supporting gut health through billions of live probiotics.

This new permanent flavour follows the brand’s “refreshingly real” blueprint, delivering vibrant raspberry flavour layered with tart lemon brightness and a crisp finish. Founded in 2020 by beverage industry veteran Tom First (co-founder of Nantucket Nectars), Culture Pop is on a mission to bring soda back to its roots: crafted, refreshing and made with simple ingredients you can feel good about.

Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade is available for shipping in the U.S. at www.drinkculturepop.com and on Amazon.

Culture Pop Soda, the better-for-you soda brand made with real, simple ingredients, has officially dropped its ninth flavour: Grape.

Made with real fruit juice and live probiotics, it’s packed with bold, vibrant flavour and free from refined sugar, stevia, and artificial ingredients. It’s a deliciously refreshing take on a beloved OG. Brisk, bright sips of true grape goodness perfectly balanced with the slightest hint of elderflower crispness.

The new flavour is launching alongside a nostalgic “Grape Grew Up” marketing launch campaign, inspired by the ’90s and reimagined for today. Because growing up doesn’t mean letting go of what you loved – it means finding a version that’s grown with you.

“We wanted to take a flavour that so many people grew up with and make it feel refreshing, delicious and new – without losing any of the flavor or fun,” said Tom First, Founder and CEO of Culture Pop Soda.

Culture Pop recently launched across the US in Target and on Target.com, where the new Grape flavour will be available alongside seven other flavours.
