Sparkling Ice Is Entering the Soda Chat —Zero Sugar + 70mg Caffeine in3 New Flavors
The zero-sugar soda conversation just got louder.
Sparkling Ice has officially revealed three new Sparkling Ice Caffeine soda flavors, and they’re doing something a lot of legacy sodas still won’t:
zero sugar only, naturally sourced colors and flavors, and a moderate caffeine hit at 70mg.
No diet-vs-regular split. No sugar-loaded counterpart. Just straight to zero.
The New Flavors
The upcoming Sparkling Ice Caffeine soda lineup includes:
Root Beer
Cherry Cola
Orange Cream
Classic soda flavors, reworked through the Sparkling Ice lens — lighter, cleaner, and positioned for people who want the taste without the sugar crash.
What’s Inside Each Can
Here’s what stands out from a performance and lifestyle perspective:
Zero sugar
Colors & flavors from natural sources
70mg caffeine per 16oz. can
That caffeine dose is worth noting. At 70mg, this lands squarely in the “afternoon pick-me-up” category — more than a typical soda, less than a full-blown energy drink. It’s a smart middle ground for people who want a lift without feeling wired.
Why This Move Matters
This launch signals a bigger trend we’re seeing across the beverage space:
Soda brands are being forced to evolve.
Consumers want:
Familiar flavors
Less sugar (or none at all)
Transparency around ingredients
Functional benefits like caffeine
Sparkling Ice leaning into zero sugar only is the bold part here. They’re not hedging their bets with a full-sugar option — they’re committing to the direction the market is clearly moving.
When & Where
There’s no specific release date yet, but the new Sparkling Ice Caffeine sodas are expected to hit major retailers that already carry the Sparkling Ice brand in the near future.
Translation: if your grocery store stocks Sparkling Ice, keep an eye on the soda aisle.
The Bottom Line
This isn’t an energy drink trying to be a soda — and it’s not an old-school soda pretending to be healthy.
It’s Sparkling Ice carving out a lane for people who want:
Soda vibes
Zero sugar
A little caffeine
And fewer ingredient red flags
Root Beer, Cherry Cola, and Orange Cream are safe flavor bets — which means execution will matter. If the taste hits, these could quietly become a staple.
