PRESTON, Wash., Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Step right up to discover a refreshing addition to the soda fountain! Talking Rain Beverage Company® has unveiled its expanded Sparkling Ice® Caffeine lineup with an exciting new Soda Shoppe collection, featuring three beloved flavors: Orange Cream, Root Beer, and Cherry Cola.
Perfectly Caffeinated™ Sparkling Ice Caffeine Soda Shoppe offers a healthier alternative to traditional sodas, boasting all the flavor without any sugar. Enriched with vitamins and antioxidants, sourced naturally from colors and flavors, and containing 70mg of caffeine, these nostalgic refreshments cater to those looking to enhance their day.
“Fresh out of the soda shoppe, each flavor in the new Sparkling Ice Caffeine range encapsulates the charm of classic fountain drinks with a contemporary twist,” stated Lisa Holcomb, VP of Brand at Talking Rain Beverage Company. “With this collection, consumers can enjoy a revitalizing pick-me-up that makes them feel good. It’s an ideal way to kickstart the day or to inject some energy into the afternoon.”
The first flavor in the Soda Shoppe line, Sparkling Ice Caffeine Cherry Cola, debuted last fall through an exclusive preview at Casey’s convenience stores. This flavor has received accolades from both consumers and industry experts, earning a best new product award for its delightful blend of spice and nostalgic richness reminiscent of classic soda fountains.
Importantly, the Sparkling Ice Caffeine Soda Shoppe collection reimagines traditional soda flavors without the inclusion of caramel coloring, phosphoric acid, or aspartame.
“Our Sparkling Ice Caffeine Soda Shoppe line provides a refreshing, better-for-you option for anyone looking to move past conventional sodas while enjoying the flavors of yesteryear, no time machine necessary,” added Ken Sylvia, CEO of Talking Rain. “We anticipate this new line will appeal to consumers across various refreshment categories, including carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks, and ready-to-drink coffees and teas.”
The Soda Shoppe collection complements the existing Sparkling Ice Caffeine range, which includes flavors like Black Raspberry, Blue Raspberry, Cherry Vanilla, Citrus Twist, Strawberry Citrus, Tropical Punch, and Watermelon Lemonade. To support transparency and assist consumers in monitoring their caffeine consumption, Sparkling Ice Caffeine packaging clearly displays the caffeine content on every can.
All three Soda Shoppe flavors are currently available in 16 oz cans on Amazon and will be rolling out nationally to major retailers and convenience stores. For further details on Sparkling Ice Caffeine, visit https://www.sparklingice.com/products/caffeine/.
