We’re guessing you’re familiar with this nostalgic classic: it’s Ginger Ale! Serving a specific function long before functional beverage was a buzzword, ginger ale is among the most O.G. classic sodas around. And so, we decided to put our own OLIPOP twist on this charming and timeless favorite. Â
Here’s everything you need to know about this flavor blast from the past: Â
Meet OLIPOP Ginger AleÂ
Get ready to crack open a cold, refreshing can of the most deliciously sophisticated ginger ale you’ve ever tasted. It’s OLIPOP Ginger Ale! Made with sweet quince, crisp apple, tangy lime, and mild ginger, we've taken the classic Ginger Ale flavor you know and love to new heights. Â
Our Ginger Ale pays homage to the ginger ale you grew up sipping… but with a modern, elevated twist and a refreshingly sweet, mildly spiced flavor that will have you feeling all sorts of fancy. Â
Ginger Ale Inspiration StoryÂ
Ginger ale, that effervescent elixir of zest and nostalgia, traces its origins to the 19th century when inventive apothecaries first combined ginger extracts, sugar, and carbonated water to create a fizzy remedy. It soon found favor as a delightful beverage, with its popularity soaring during the Prohibition era when it became a non-alcoholic alternative. Â
Over the years, ginger ale evolved from a simple tonic to a symphony of flavors, each sip a step back in time, invoking memories of simpler days and cherished moments. Maybe ginger ale reminds you of your childhood or a family member who was always sipping one at the dinner table. Or it sparks memories of summer picnics, front porch swings, or a crackling fireside. Â
Although the world has evolved since people started drinking it, ginger ale hasn’t changed very much over the years. It’s not new, not sexy, and that’s kind of what’s great about it. It’s firmly rooted in our past, both collective and personal. So, if you think about it, the fact that we’re putting a modern twist on ginger ale after all these years is kind of a big deal.  Â
And that’s because we understand that nostalgic step back in time that a sip of ginger ale offers. But we also understand the dangers of all that extra added sugar. Our Co-Founder, CEO, and Formulator, Ben Goodwin, believed that all ginger ale lovers deserve a fresh can of tart, spicy flavor without all that extra unhealthy stuff added in. So, he set out on a mission to create a ginger ale that tickles your senses with its sweet ginger flavor, envelopes you in a rush of nostalgia, and… doesn’t overwhelm your body with a bucketful of sugar. And, well, we think you’ll like the end result. Â
Ginger Ale NutritionÂ
Traditional soda’s version of ginger ale offers little more than high fructose corn syrup. But that’s not the case at OLIPOP. Like all our flavors, OLIPOP Ginger Ale is both functional and delicious. With apple, quince, and tangy lime juice, we’re able to keep that flavor you know and love while keeping our sugar at 5g. Â
This flavor is available in both our 6g Fiber Line and our 9g Fiber Line, giving you two ways to enjoy the same sweet, refreshing flavor, depending on what you’re looking for:Â
- 6g Fiber Line: 6g of fiber and 5g of total sugar per 12 fl oz canÂ
- 9g Fiber Line: 9g of fiber and 5g of total sugar per 12 fl oz canÂ
Both options are made with real fruit juice to help achieve balanced sweetness, plus our proprietary OLISMART blend: a thoughtful mix of prebiotics and botanicals selected to help support digestive health.*Â
The combination of fruit acids from the apple, quince, and lime juice creates a tart, tonic-like flavor that gives way to a mild blend of non-spicy ginger and mulling spices. In other words, it’s the best of both worlds. A modern twist on a traditional beverage, with 5g of sugar, more taste with every sip, and extra carbonation to give the flavor some extra fizz. Â
