Loverboy Non Alcoholic Sparkling Tea
Loverboy, the RTD beverage comapny co-founded by Bravo’s “Summer House” stars Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula, is kicking off 2024 with non-alcoholic versions of two of its original, top-rated sparking tea flavors, Non-Alcoholic White Tea Peach and Non-Alcoholic Lemon Iced Tea. Loverboy leaned into its two original, fan-favorite flavors for its first non-alcoholic teas to give its millions of fans a taste-alike, alcohol-free, better-for-you-ingredients option that doesn’t skimp on flavor or sparkle. Both made with organic brewed tea, White Tea Peach and Lemon Iced Tea each weigh in at a skimpy 10 calories per can.
“Our new Non-Alcoholic White Tea Peach and Non-Alcoholic Lemon Iced Tea flavors are made for people who like to keep the party going…in moderation…and maintain a healthy lifestyle,” says Cooke, Loverboy’s CEO and founder. “While top non-alcoholic beers clock in upwards of 12g of carbs and 50 calories per can, and RTD mocktails regularly exceed 8g of sugar per can, we’re staying true to the Loverboy taste our fans love with clean ingredients, no sugar and minimal carbs.”
