Our very own Sparkling Hibiscus Pink Lemonade is reminiscent of an old-school Limonata, but without all of the added sugar. After 300 years of R&D spanning the Italian coast to the ports and sea hubs of the Northeast, Ruby landed on a recipe that offers a balance of sweet and tart, with organic lemon and lime juices, plus white grape juice for a touch of sweetness. Ruby’s star ingredient, hibiscus, adds a layer to the already tart flavor with a boost of antioxidant and anti-aging benefits and a naturally bright pink hue just like the pink lemonades we grew up on. With no added sugar or artificial flavors, it’s a refreshingly light and balanced beverage perfect for the transitional season.

We're the only organic juicy soda, big on flavor and big on benefits. Almost every other drink on the market is full of artificial additives, 'natural flavors' and non-nutritive sweeteners like stevia, monkfruit or erythritol. We don't have any of the above thanks to the power of hibiscus, which is naturally acidic and flavorful. We believe product integrity is the most important thing and we only use organic ingredients because we take "better for you" seriously.
What a great questions! Hibiscus is truly a global plant: it's grown everywhere from Southeast Asia to South America to The United States to Central America to West Africa, and on and on and on.
We tested a number of different strains of hibiscus, and found that hibiscus sabdariffa, which is indigenous to South East Asia and West Africa, had an exceptional flavor profile. Thereafter we focused on finding an ethical farms to work with, and were able to locate a phenomenal partner in Burkina Faso. For more info on the global uses (and growth) of hibiscus, check out our ABOUT page and/or our History of Hibiscus series in the Ruby Journal.
Hibiscus is one of the most densely rich in antioxidant ingredients in the world. We've tested our hibiscus it has 1000+ polyphenols. There have been a number of studies showing that hibiscus has been helpful in lowering blood pressure. It has anti-aging benefits and organic hydration as we also have some electrolytes in our bevvy :)
Most importantly (to us) we don't use any sugar or non-nutritive sweeteners, only organic fruit juices. There have been a number of studies showing the harm of stevia, erythritol and, of course, sugar. We're hoping to help people reduce their sugar consumption.
Our water is double reverse osmosis filtered and we source our water from Saratoga!
