Zima is a clear, lightly carbonated alcoholic beverage that was first introduced in the United States in 1993. It is often described as a refreshing alternative to beer and is known for its fruity flavors, which can include citrus and berry notes. Zima is typically served chilled and can be enjoyed on its own or as a mixer in cocktails. Originally produced by the Coors Brewing Company, Zima gained popularity in the 1990s but saw a decline in sales in the early 2000s. After being discontinued, it was briefly re-released in 2017 due to nostalgia and demand from fans. Today, Zima remains a unique part of beverage history.
