Several food companies wowed consumers with new drink flavors to start the month.
The flavor combinations are sure to be hits.
Here are they are:
Olipop partnered with Hidden Valley Ranch on a limited-edition four-pack inspired by favorite condiments. Choose from Classic Ranch, Hot Honey Ranch, Jalapeño Ranch, and Garlic Ranch.

Organic and natural grocery retailer Natural Grocers launched four exciting additions to its line of house branded beverages. New to its spritzer line are Onion Water, Roasted Chicken Water, Clam Water, and Mac & Cheese Fizz Water.

And, inspired by the master mixologists from San Juan, Puerto Rico where the piña colada cocktail was birthed—and carefully cultivated by Dole Food Company’s R&D team—this breakthrough Ananas comosus variety delivers an irresistible fusion of juicy pineapple sweetness and creamy, coco-nutty bliss.
Dole says its new Coco-Pine is a tropical luxury you have to slice to enjoy.

Marketers can’t resist news like this on this date.
