Berries from the Brazilian rain forest are coming soon to a bottle of juice, tea or cola near you...Until a few months ago, guaranį was virtually unknown nationally and mostly limited to South American beverages. But suddenly, the berries – rumored to be everything from stimulants to aphrodisiacs – are the buzz of the beverage word.

New – Natural – Exotic

Guaranį is showing up on a lot of new product radar screens – and why not? It’s a natural refreshing flavor, with the marketing advantages of thousands of years of history and mythological mystical powers. It is a natural addition to the trend toward energy drinks, supports the preservation of the Amazon rainforests, and is the first truly unique flavor category in a long time.

Sol Rio – a Genuine Guaranį Soft Drink

Guaranį is beginning to appear on a lot of bottle labels. However, many products use guaranį more for marketing than as an ingredient. The potential of the guaranį soft drink market comes not only from its mythology, history, and possible herbal properties, but from its FLAVOR! Most so-called guaranį soft drinks only add a small portion of the chemical extract of the fruit to an unrelated beverage. These are no more guaranį beverages than a caffeine tablet is a cup of gourmet coffee. (One new national product line displays the word "guaranį" prominently on its front labels, but includes so little that it is relegated to the end of the ingredients list - even behind food coloring.)

Sol Rio guaranį soft drinks are made from concentrate produced by Companhia Cervejaria Brahma, the largest food and beverage company in Latin America. We fly the concentrate to Seattle from Rio de Janeiro, and bottle this unique beverage here.
