Grapefruit

Grapefruit is Cove's bittersweet citrus soda in a 355 mL can. The panel lists 10 calories, 0 g sugar, 4 g of fibre, and 115 mg of sodium. Purple carrot juice concentrate provides the pink tint.

Cove Drinks in Halifax owns it. Cans are packed in London, Ontario. Keurig Dr Pepper Canada handles grocery. This flavour page still lists Bacillus subtilis DE111, while other Cove pages have moved to acacia fibre.

The copy is tart ruby grapefruit with lemon juice concentrate behind it. Citric acid and Himalayan salt sharpen the finish. Serve it ice-cold.
