January 5, 2026 — wildwonder, the AAPI and female-founded brand behind the world's first prebiotic and probiotic sparkling beverage, today launched its latest refreshing flavor, Pink Pomelo Limeade.
The new drink features zesty pink pomelo - a citrus fruit native to Southeast Asia - paired with juicy lime and delicate chrysanthemum florals. Timed with the start of the new year, Pink Pomelo Limeade taps into themes of renewal and fresh beginnings – drawing from pomelo's long-standing symbolism of prosperity, abundance, and good fortune.
Pink Pomelo Limeade, like all wildwonder beverages, pairs flavor with functional benefits, delivering 1 billion live probiotics and 5g of prebiotic dietary fiber per can. Each USDA Organic drink is vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, caffeine-free, and just 40 calories per serving.
The new flavor continues founder and CEO Rosa Li's vision of pairing gut health with bold, refreshing taste, drawing inspiration from her grandmother's Chinese herbal traditions and vibrant, fruit-forward flavors. Pink Pomelo Limeade reflects wildwonder's approach to beverage innovation - honoring cultural roots while delivering a bright, accessible flavor profile for today's wellness-minded consumer.
wildwonder Founder and CEO Rosa Li said, "Pink pomelo is one of my favorite fruits, and I was waiting for the right moment to add it to our carefully curated portfolio of flavors. Not only does it carry incredible immunity-boosting nutrients, but it is so uniquely delicious. It is also such a symbol of abundance in Asian culture. I'm excited to finally share our take on it."
The launch of Pink Pomelo Limeade follows wildwonder's recent holiday release, Blackberry Violet - a limited-edition, sparkling botanical inspired by the classic Prohibition-era Aviation cocktail. The flavor debuted alongside the Blackberry Violet Holiday Gift Set, curated to elevate at-home cocktail and mocktail moments. The limited-edition gift box featured four cans of Blackberry Violet, a box of Blackberry Violet–flavored gummies (with 3g of fiber per serving), two purple cocktail glasses, each with a hand-blown blackberry statuette inside, two cocktail picks, and recipe cards for both a cocktail and a mocktail. Blackberry Violet blends juicy blackberries, fragrant violet, juniper, and a splash of lime, delivering a nostalgic and gut-loving twist on a retro drink.
Since raising seed funding in 2020, wildwonder has scaled rapidly, propelled by a breakout appearance on Shark Tank in 2023 and an investment led by DoorDash CEO Tony Xu. As of December 2025, the brand has expanded into more than 8,000 retail locations and achieved 300% sales growth. The momentum has earned wildwonder a spot on the Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Companies list for the second consecutive year, ranking No. 109 in 2025.
