Biotic Ferments drinks were created with a simple theory—when we feel better, we care more. Their unique and delightful Spicy Ginger Electrolyte Kvass and Lime Electrolyte Kvass are a new-world spin on the classic Eastern European drink, made with fermented carrots and beet juice. (On sale, 2/$7 until Nov 4).

Crack into a can of their Nira Root B**r Soda or Cherry Vanilla Nira, fermented sodas made with the regenerative sweetener Nira. (On sale 2/$5 until Nov 4). Nira is a traditional Indonesian sweetener harvested from coconut blossoms. It consumes 1/10th of the water to produce 150% more sugar per acre than sugar cane!
