Waterloo Sparkling Water, known for its authentic flavors and lively carbonation, announced the launch of its all-new Tropical Fruit sparkling water, available as a limited-time-only offering for the summer season. Alongside the launch comes the broad return of fan-favorite Summer Berry, now available year-round nationwide. To celebrate the launch of Tropical Fruit, the brand has collaborated once again with celebrity chef and TV personality Curtis Stone to create a unique Waterloo-infused treat available in a summer-inspired picnic basket for a limited-time only at his Michelin-starred restaurant, Gwen Butcher Shop & Restaurant.
The inspiration for the brand's all-new Tropical Fruit flavor started with blood orange for sweetness, layered on pineapple to lift the flavor, and added juicy mango for a riper, nuanced tropical taste. After iterating 75+ times and rounding out the profile with hints of other exotic fruits, the Innovation Team arrived at its final destination – a bright, nostalgic and uniquely refreshing medley for summer fun anywhere. Waterloo's Tropical Fruit can be enjoyed straight from a chilled can, in a mocktail or cocktail -- and in a Tropical Fruit Bar dessert recipe crafted in collaboration with celebrity chef Curtis Stone.
The launch of Tropical Fruit comes on the heels of significant distribution gains for the brand, including national distribution at Walmart, Sprouts, Food Lion and Fresh Direct, and greater assortment on shelf at Albertson Safeway, Kroger, Target and Meijer.
Like all Waterloo varieties, Tropical Fruit is free of calories, sugar, and sweeteners. All flavors are made with Non-GMO Project Verified natural flavors and purified carbonated water, bringing forward uniquely authentic taste and aroma for an overall refreshing experience that supports active and healthy lifestyles.
