Poppi Cherry Cola 12 fl oz
Poppi Cherry Cola in the 12 fl oz (355ml) can is a functional, "better-for-you" take on the classic dark soda profile. It combines the deep, caramel notes of traditional cola with a bright burst of cherry, all while incorporating gut-health-focused ingredients like Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) and prebiotic fiber.
Core Ingredients
The formula is designed to deliver a rich flavor experience with significantly cleaner ingredients than conventional sodas:
-
Sparkling Filtered Water: The carbonated base that provides the refreshing "fizz."
-
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV): Each can contains about one tablespoon of ACV, filtered to remove the harsh vinegar scent while retaining its acetic acid benefits.
-
Agave Inulin: A natural prebiotic fiber sourced from the agave plant, included to support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
-
Fruit & Vegetable Juices (for Color & Flavor): Typically uses concentrates like Cherry, Lemon, and Blackberry to provide authentic flavor and a dark hue without synthetic dyes or caramel color.
-
Natural Sweeteners: A blend of Cane Sugar and Stevia Leaf Extract provides a full-bodied sweetness with a fraction of the calories found in standard sodas.

Key Characteristics
-
Nostalgic Flavor: It captures the specific, juicy cherry-and-cola balance often associated with classic fountain sodas but with a crisper, lighter finish.
-
Gut Health Benefits: Unlike traditional "empty calorie" sodas, the prebiotics and ACV target digestive wellness.
-
Caffeine-Free: Most Poppi cola varieties are caffeine-free, allowing for a flavorful "cola" experience without the late-night jitters.
-
Clean Label: Non-GMO, Vegan, and Gluten-Free, with no artificial flavors or preservatives.
Usage Tip: Because this beverage contains real fruit juices and fiber, natural settling can occur. To ensure the best flavor, gently tilt the can back and forth (do not shake!) before opening. Serve it "ice-cold" in a glass with a single maraschino cherry to fully appreciate the premium cherry aroma.
