Handcrafted sodas are beverages made using natural ingredients, often featuring unique flavors and artisanal methods. Unlike mass-produced sodas, these drinks typically avoid artificial sweeteners and preservatives, focusing instead on high-quality ingredients like fresh fruits, herbs, and spices. Many small businesses and local artisans create handcrafted sodas, allowing for a diverse range of flavors that can include everything from ginger and lavender to citrus blends. These sodas are often carbonated using traditional methods, resulting in a refreshing and distinctive taste that appeals to those seeking a more authentic beverage experience.
