Frequently asked questions
General Questions
What is Fruitbelt?
A tart, sparkling tonic made with freshly pressed apples, verjus, a touch of honey, and our signature orchard botanical bitters. Every ingredient is locally sourced in Michigan.
What is a tonic?
ton·ic /ˈtän-ik/
noun — a refreshing drink intended to restore or invigorate.
Tonics first bubbled up in the 19th century, when botanical bitters met carbonated water in lively, sense-awakening blends. Fruitbelt carries that spark forward with tart fruit, wild botanicals, and a touch of honey for a zesty, feel-good alternative to booze or soda.
Does Fruitbelt contain alcohol?
Nope! It’s completely non-alcoholic.
How should I drink Fruitbelt?
However you like! It’s crisp and refreshing straight from the can, even better over ice, and makes a great mixer in both mocktails and cocktails. Check out our Recipes page for ideas on how to pair it with other ingredients.
