What makes a perfect summer beverage?
It should be served ice cold to combat the heat of high summer, have a light, refreshing flavor, and maybe even offer a burst of sparkling bubbles to really quench your thirst.
Aura Bora’s “heavenly sparkling waters” have perfected all three components. Naturally flavored with herbs, fruits, and flowers, drinking an Aura Bora is like a foraged summer bounty in a can — a can that’s entirely free of artificial flavors, of course. It’s the perfect beverage for getting outside, enjoying the sunshine, and admiring the fragrant beauty of the summer season.
To get their great flavors without the additives, Aura Bora uses natural ingredients sourced from plants. Here’s how their sparkling waters differ from the others:
Aura Bora offers the best of both worlds — the complex ingredients of a fine cocktail, without the sugar, alcohol, or brain fuzz. If you’re skipping out on the booze this summer, here are two summer mocktail recipes made with Aura Bora’s favorite Elderflower Grapefruit and Ginger Meyer Lemon flavors. They’re the perfect additions to your picnic, barbecue, or post-work porch hang.
Aura Bora spent months sourcing the juiciest, most flavorful grapefruit to pair with the sweet and aromatic undertones of elderflower to create their Elderflower Grapefruit sparkling water. It’s the star of this sweet and tangy mocktail recipe, which also features an unexpected spoonful of strawberry jam for a seriously summery treat. Turn it into a cocktail with a shot of gin or vodka, if you’re so inclined.
