Handmade sodas are beverages crafted using natural ingredients, often featuring unique flavors and minimal processing. These sodas typically combine carbonated water with fresh fruits, herbs, and spices, allowing for a wide range of creative combinations. Unlike mass-produced sodas, handmade versions often avoid artificial sweeteners and preservatives, appealing to health-conscious consumers. Many small businesses and artisans produce handmade sodas, emphasizing quality and local sourcing. Popular flavors may include ginger, lavender, or citrus, and these drinks can be enjoyed on their own or used as mixers in cocktails. The growing trend of handmade sodas reflects a broader interest in artisanal food and drink.
