Here we are at the peak of summer, and what better way to celebrate than by enjoying one of the tastiest fruits the season has to offer: peaches!  

National Peach Day is August 27th, and we have something extra special in store to help you celebrate this juicy occasion. Meet SunSip Peach 🍑: bursting with ripe, juicy goodness, this take on Peach soda pairs the refreshing and fruity flavor you love with the benefits you need. Your new bubbly bestie is ready for the beach, the pool, the park, a cookout, and wherever else the remainder of Summer may take you! 

In honor of the newest flavor addition to our lineup of better-for-you-sodas, we’re here with some peachy history, fun facts, and ideas on how to best enjoy SunSip Peach! 

From Blossoms to Baskets: Peach History 

Peaches originated from China over 8,000 years ago and were considered a symbol of unity and immortality. Today, peaches are grown across various parts of the world, and the United States is one of the largest peach producers! If you’ve ever heard the phrase, “sweet as a Georgia peach,” you might be able to guess that Georgia has earned the title of “The Peach State” and is famous for its high-quality peaches.  

Peaches belong to the stone fruit family because they have a single hard seed, or pit, in the center. As a fruit, they also pack quite the nutritious punch! Peaches are rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants like beta-carotene, which play an important role in protecting your cells from oxidative stress. When you eat a peach, you’re also getting a few grams of dietary fiber that aid in digestion and support a healthy gut.  

Peachy Pairings 

SunSip Peach is here just in time to help you make the most of National Peach Day and the final few weeks of summer. Here are a few of our favorite ways to enjoy this new, juicy flavor: 

• Ice Cold and Straight from the Can! Crack one open for a sweet and refreshing hydration break to help you get past that 3pm slump or cool down after a day outside in the summer sun.  

• SunSip Peach Iced Tea. Grab a glass with ice and fill it halfway with iced tea. Top off the other half with SunSip Peach and garnish with a few fresh peach slices! 

• Peaches & Cream Float. Pour a can of SunSip Peach over a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream for a deliciously nostalgic take on the classic float. It's like enjoying a creamsicle on a warm afternoon, one sip at a time! 

• Peach Sorbet Mocktail. Add a scoop of peach sorbet to a cocktail glass and slowly pour SunSip Peach over the top. Sip through a straw and enjoy as the sorbet melts into the bubbly, better-for-you  

New Flavor, Same Benefits 

Peach may be the newest flavor addition to the SunSip crew, but the Flavor, Fizz, and Fun-ction in each can remain the same. When you crack open any can of SunSip, you can expect gut-supporting prebiotics from agave inulin as well as a good source of vitamins and minerals. With no stevia and 5g of total sugar per can (compared to ~40g per can in traditional sodas), SunSip Peach is a great way to enjoy the flavors of summer while being mindful of your sugar intake.

Here’s to supporting your gut and savoring the final weeks of summer with friends, family, and SunSip. Stay peachy!
