Sparkling Apple Delivers the Crisp, Refreshing Taste of Fall with No Stevia, Artificial Sweeteners or Syrupy Sweetness

Watertown, Massachusetts (September 8th, 2026) — Culture Pop Soda is welcoming fall with the launch of Limited-Edition Sparkling Apple, a crisp, refreshing take on a quintessential fall flavor. Inspired by the familiar taste of crisp apples and sparkling cider, the new flavor is made the Culture Pop way, with simple ingredients and a live probiotic.


Made with a blend of apple juices from concentrate, Sparkling Apple delivers delicious, juicy apple flavor without the syrupy sweetness, sugar overload, or fake sweeteners. Like every Culture Pop flavor, it contains no stevia, no refined sugar and no artificial or high-intensity sweeteners. The result is a refreshing, not-too-sweet soda that actually tastes like apples.


“We wanted to make a fall flavor the Culture Pop way,” said Tom First, Founder & CEO of Culture Pop Soda. “Apple was one of the most beloved Nantucket Nectars flavors. It was simple, but delicious, and I feel the same way about Culture Pop Sparkling Apple. It’s somewhere between a crisp apple and a sparkling cider: refreshing, not too sweet and full of apple flavor. I think fall officially starts the minute you open a Culture Pop Sparkling Apple.”


The limited-edition launch is supported by Culture Pop’s “Refreshingly Crisp” fall campaign, celebrating everything people love about the season while bringing the brand’s signature not-too-sweet approach to a classic fall flavor. Sparkling Apple arrives in a distinctive gold can, a seasonal standout designed to be as easy to spot on shelf as it is refreshing to drink.


Founded in 2020 by beverage industry veteran Tom First (co-founder of Nantucket Nectars), Culture Pop is on a mission to bring soda back to its roots: crafted, refreshing and made with simple ingredients you can feel good about.


Limited-Edition Sparkling Apple is available beginning September 8th for nationwide shipping at drinkculturepop.com and on Amazon, and at retailers including Albertsons, Wegmans, Giant Food, H-E-B, Stop & Shop, Shaw’s, Jewel-Osco, Big Y and more.


About Culture Pop Soda

Founded in 2020 by beverage industry veteran Tom First, Culture Pop Soda is one of America’s fastest-growing private companies, ranking No. 697 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 and on track to surpass $25 million in revenue this year. Culture Pop is unlike any soda you’ve had before. Crafted with organic fruit juice from concentrate, organic herbs and spices and live probiotics, Culture Pop delivers a slightly sweet, refreshingly real taste and leaves out artificial sweeteners, stevia and refined sugar.

If soda grew on trees, it would be Culture Pop. Each of the brand’s flavors is inspired by familiar fruit flavors and includes a live probiotic to support digestive health. Culture Pop Soda is Whole30 Approved, certified non-GMO, gluten-free, plant-based, shelf-stable and kosher. Learn more at drinkculturepop.com and follow @drinkculturepop.
