Craft sodas are unique, small-batch beverages that emphasize quality ingredients and distinctive flavors. Unlike mass-produced sodas, they often use natural sweeteners, such as cane sugar or honey, and may include real fruit juices, herbs, and spices. This focus on craftsmanship allows for a wide variety of creative flavors, appealing to consumers looking for something different from traditional soft drinks. Many craft soda makers prioritize local sourcing and sustainability, supporting regional farmers and businesses. Popular flavors can range from classic root beer and ginger ale to more adventurous options like lavender lemonade or cucumber mint. This trend has gained popularity among those seeking artisanal alternatives to conventional sodas.
