There are few things as refreshing as a cold fruit soda. Switch is a new brand and an answer to the majority of so-called fruit sodas that are heavy on soda but light on the fruit. Sweetners like high-fructose corn syrup, aspartame, artificial colors and preservatives add a lot of multi-syllabic additives that you really don't want to be pouring down your gullet.
Enter Switch, a full-flavored and all-natural soft drink that's all fruit juice with none of the crap found in most mainstream fizzy beverages.
It's not the first time we've found great-tasting natural sodas and liked them; hopefully it won't be the last.
Available in virtually all 50 U.S. states, The Switch is even being welcomed into more than 1,500 public schools at the same time that school districts around the nation — and the world — are moving to ban cola and other junk foods from their campus cafeterias.

Our first contender, Mixerz, comes to us from California's Napa Valley, the cradle of America's fine wine industry that in the 1980s broke the backs of the jugwine industry, elevating California wines to a world standard.
