Aurora Elixirs and Artet have teamed up to release a non-alcoholic, hemp-based carbonated soft drink in the US.

Mediterranean Citrus & Chamomile is a sparkling hemp beverage that contains 25mg of non-psychoactive CBD per 20cl bottle. The new variant is free from artificial ingredients and mixes Italian grapefruit with chamomile, coriander and orange peel.

The non-alcoholic spritz is the first collaboration between the two US-based companies and the first offering from Artet that does not include THC.

Mediterranean Citrus & Chamomile is available in the US via Aurora’s website. Each 4x 20cl pack also comes with a bottle opener and two stainless steel straws.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Artet on this balanced and bitter beverage that highlights our mutual plant-forward philosophies,” said Aurora CEO Victoria Pustynsky.

In April, Loki released a cannabis seltzer containing THC, also in the US.
