“Ancient Drinks is the most successful and exciting beverage launch since Liquid Death”

Bill Sipper, Cascadia


[Charlottesville, VA] - Ancient Drinks, the trailblazing newcomer revolutionizing the sports drink category and one of the fastest-growing organic beverages, is thrilled to announce the launch of its products in a retail invasion across the West Coast, Southwest, and Mountain West. Today’s news follows the brand’s jaw-dropping launch of its first three beverages exclusively on Amazon and arrives on the heels of its online success, resulting in continued growth with doubled first-quarter MoM sales. Ancient Drinks has garnered over 44% of repeat sales – proving that it’s not just here to disrupt the status quo but burn it to the ground.


Ancient Drinks fundamentally alters perceptions of what a sports drink can be by bringing back forgotten flavors from the dead. Nixing the sports drink industry’s sugar and plastic-choked norms with all-natural USDA organic and sustainable elixirs. It’s not just a drink but an all-out assault on today’s sugar-infested mediocrity with time-tested recipes.


After dominating on Amazon with record MoM sales, Ancient Drinks expanded its reach this past Spring and infiltrated KeHE, one of the nation’s largest upscale and natural food distributors.


The brand has captured consumers’ hearts and taste buds while refocusing the market on what it takes to break the boundaries of the competitive beverage landscape and seize the future of drinks. 


The hand-crafted recipes and historic-themed sports drinks are an antidote to the synthetic, sugar-infested swill plaguing the market. The elixirs come in three flavors: Switchel, Posca, and Sekanjabin. Each drink is crafted with meticulous precision and a strong adherence to classic production methods with modern standards.

  • Switchel - the hydrating energizer of the American Frontier, pairing apple cider vinegar, Himalayan Salt, grade A maple syrup, probiotics, citrus and ginger.
  • Posca - the sports drink of the Roman Empire, pairing apple cider vinegar, Himalayan Salt, grade A maple syrup, probiotics, cardamom and cayenne.
  • Sekanjabin - the refreshing recovery drink of Ancient Persia, pairing apple cider vinegar, Himalayan Salt, probiotics, grade A maple syrup, mint and Aleppo chili.


Ingredients Quality and Transparency:

Ancient Drinks is certified USDA Organic and probiotic-enhanced with zero refined sugars, artificial sweeteners, synthetic dyes, or additives. Key ingredients include apple cider vinegar, ginger, cardamom, Himalayan sea salt, maple syrup, probiotics, and a mix of superfoods, herbs, fruits, and spices. They’re caffeine-free, non-alcoholic, and non-carbonated. 


Sustainable Practices:

Using eco-friendly packaging and sustainable sourcing to minimize its carbon footprint. Ancient Drinks’ commitment to environmental responsibility is as relentless as its drive to redefine the beverage industry. For more information, visit Ancient Drinks or follow on social media @AncientDrinks.
