New Products: PKN Finds JOY, Plus Lifeway & Little Saints
In this week’s NPG, we settle in for a hot cup of “Death,” call up Three Spirit for botanical drink, and highlight a new set of collagen-packed kefirs from Lifeway.
Death Wish Coffee Co.
Just in time for the winter festive season, Death Wish has added a new Peppermint Mocha brew to its seasonal portfolio. The LTO is crafted with organic robusta and arabica beans for a “bold, balanced, and smooth cup of coffee,” the brand claims. Death Wish Peppermint Mocha is available in 9 oz. ground bags (SRP $13.99) and 10-count pods (SRP $12.99) online via the brand’s website and Amazon and in-store at major retailers nationwide, including Sprouts, Publix, Wegmans, and Kroger.

PKN
PKN, which claims to have been the first brand to introduce pecan milk to the market, has unveiled its latest offering: PKN JOY Barista. The new offering, made in partnership with baristas, features sustainably sourced, upcycled pecans rich in flavonoids and antioxidants. Consumers can purchase PKN JOY Barista on the brand’s website for $15.99 per 2-pack of 32 oz. cartons or $44.99 per 6-pack of 32 oz. cartons. For more information, visit thispkn.com.
Three Spirit
Three Spirit is heating up its portfolio of non-alcoholic drinks and elixirs with the release of Extra Spicy Functional Botanical Elixir.

Other ingredients include guayusa, guava leaf, green tea, cayenne, and schisandra berries. Three Spirit Extra Spicy Functional Botanical Elixir is available on the brand’s website for $39 per 16.9 oz. bottle. For more information, visit us.threespiritdrinks.com.

Little Saints has unveiled its newest non-alcoholic spirit, St. Juniper, which has been in the works for nearly a year. The sipping gin is powered by lion’s mane instead of alcoholic and features tasting notes of juniper, birch, coriander, yuzu, and cucumber. Little Saints St. Juniper is available for $49.99 per 750ml bottle. For more information, visit littlesaints.com.
