Sippin’ Style: The Best Glass Bottle Sodas for a Cool Summer

When the temperatures climb and the backyard BBQ gets fired up, there’s nothing quite like cracking open an ice-cold glass bottle soda pop to quench your thirst. The crisp hiss of the carbonation when you pop the top, and the refreshing first sip hits all the right spots, especially on long, hot summer days! From classic root beers to vibrant tropical fruit flavors and everything in between, glass bottle sodas bring a timeless cool to any occasion!

What makes glass bottle sodas so special? For starters, many glass bottle sodas are made with real cane sugar, which gives them a smoother, more authentic taste than your average canned soda or fountain drink. No high fructose corn syrup here, just sweet, fizzy nostalgia in a bottle. Plus, soda just tastes better from a glass bottle. There’s no metallic aftertaste, or microplastics invading your thirst quenching. It’s science. Or magic… Or perhaps a little bit of both?

Don’t get us wrong! Aluminum cans and plastic bottles serve their purpose (think beach coolers, and poolside beverage consumption). But for backyard lounging, indoor sipping, or summer road trip getaways, nothing hits quite like taking a refreshing drink from a glass bottle soda pop! These are some sweet, easy summer drinks at their finest!

It seems like every summer, more and more folks are swapping out booze-heavy beverages in favor of sparkling water spritzers and craft sodas with fun, nostalgic flavors. Polls show that younger generations are drinking less alcohol, and that trend shows no signs of slowing down. With plenty of satisfying options like lime juice-infused colas, ginger beer with real bite, and colorful blue lemonades, these refreshing drinks offer a fresh twist on the classic soft drink, all without the hangover, or the need for a designated driver!

So, whether you’re crafting a root beer float that’s reminiscent of your childhood or popping open a frosty cherry limeade at your next summer party, these ice-cold beverages are here to keep you cool, in a delicious way! So, grab a bottle opener and get ready to explore the fizzy, flavorful world of glass bottle sodas. Your taste buds will certainly appreciate the unique flavors, and they will help keep you refreshed all summer long!

The Best Glass Bottle Sodas to Keep You Feeling Cool All Summer Long

At Redstone Foods, we’re no stranger to the ever-expanding world of glass bottle craft sodas. Our lineup of delicious, unique, and sometimes quirky flavors is constantly growing. If you’re looking for the perfect cold beverage for a hot summer’s day, we have got the drinks for you!

Mexican Squirt

Mexican sodas have always been a sweet surprise on hot summer days. The grocery store by my parent’s house would get a stock of glass bottle Coca-Colas once every summer. I forgot how much better they tasted than the high fructose corn syrup-laden American versions.

Mexican Squirt is no different. If you’re all hot and sweaty and really thirsty, nothing quite quenches your thirst like an ice-cold Mexican Squirt out of a glass bottle! We’re starting things off with this product because it is simply one of the best! The bottle even says “quitased” which is Spanish for “removes thirst”. It’s totally a win-win!

Frostie Cherry Limeade

If you’re craving something tart, tangy, and totally satisfying, Frostie Cherry Limeade combines the classic bite of citrus with the nostalgic sweetness of cherry for a flavor combo that screams summer! Sweetened with pure cane sugar and bottled in retro-style glass, this one’s surely a backyard BBQ essential. It’s like sunshine in a bottle – fizzy, fruity, and perfectly refreshing!

Breaking Bad Heisenberg Blue Cream Soda

This soda screams: “Say my name!” With its vibrant blue hue and officially licensed Breaking Bad label, Heisenberg Blue Cream Soda from Rocket Fizz is as bold as Walter White himself. But don’t you worry! No chemistry degree is required to enjoy this bottle. Just chill, sip, and let the smooth, vanilla-laced cream soda cool you down like a blast from a chilly, nighttime Albuquerque desert breeze.

Hank’s Naturals Pompelmo Citrus

Bright, bubbly, and undeniably refreshing, Hank’s Naturals Pompelmo Citrus feels like sipping grapefruit soda on a terrace along the Amalfi Coast. With no artificial flavors, no preservatives, and made with real cane sugar, this sparkling citrus soda strikes a beautiful balance between tart and sweet. It's like a sophisticated sip of sunshine in a bottle!

Hank’s Orange Cream Soda

Remember those orange creamsicle popsicles you devoured every summer from the ice cream truck as a kid? Hank’s Orange Cream Soda brings that same creamy citrus magic into a bubbly, nostalgic glass bottle. The smooth, dreamy blend of tangy orange and velvety vanilla makes this entry from Hank’s a timeless treat that’s just as fun for grown-ups as it is for kids. Serve it ice-cold, or even with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and let the good times roll!

Jones Soda Strawberry Lime

Strawberry and lime come together in this refreshingly fruity soda from Jones, that strikes the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Made with natural cane sugar and packed in their signature glass bottles featuring quirky fan-submitted labels, this one’s got plenty of personality to spare! Try it as a mocktail over ice, with a sprig of mint leaves for an extra layer of cooling summer goodness. The strawberry, lime and mint combined makes for the perfect way to cool off this summer!

Potion’s Cauldron Basilisk Blood (Mixed Fruit)

Straight from the wizarding world of York, England comes this shimmering showstopper: Basilisk Blood Mixed Fruit Soda from The Potion’s Cauldron. With a swirling, glittery brew and the magical taste of fresh fruit, this sugar-free soda is spellbinding to look at, but even better to sip! Whether you’re throwing a kids’ birthday party or looking for an eye-catching mixer for adults, this enchanted elixir is sure to charm your crowd. Just don’t forget to cast your own magic spell!

Diet Dad’s Old-Fashioned Root Beer

You don’t often hear “diet” and “old-fashioned” in the same sentence. In fact, I don’t think we’ve ever covered a diet soda before, but here we are. If there ever was a diet soda to win us over, Dad’s Diet Root Beer surely pulls it off! With the classic blend of wintergreen, vanilla, and licorice flavor notes, this sugar-free version of the nostalgic favorite has zero calories, no caffeine, and all the charm of a frosty mug on a summer day. It's proof that even a cold beverage can still warm the heart, just like you’d expect from Dad’s everywhere!

Clearly Canadian Country Raspberry

Just like diet sodas, we’ve rarely mentioned a sparkling water before! Clearly Canadian Country Raspberry makes it a worthwhile effort. Especially when we’re talking about cooling off with a revitalizing drink on a bright, sunshiny day. This all-natural, non-GMO beverage only has 4 ingredients which is a clean label hunter’s dream! Clearly Canadian is clearly thirst-quenching!

Dr. Pepper

I can’t finish this blog without mentioning one of my all-time favorite sodas: Dr. Pepper! Let me assure you that you’ve never really tried Dr. Pepper unless you’ve had it made with pure cane sugar, out of a sleek, retro glass bottle! This timeless soda is crisp, bold, and full of that unique blend of 23 flavors you all know and love. It’s a nostalgic trip with every sip on summer days, at family cookouts, or whenever you need a little taste of pure, old-fashioned Americana.

At Redstone Foods, we believe that summer’s all about chilling out, whether it’s a backyard BBQ, a family reunion, a picnic at the beach, or even just reading a good book on the hammock in your backyard. While candy, ice cream, and grilled treats are quintessential summertime treats, nothing quite ties it all together like a cold, refreshing glass bottle soda!
