For the conscious drinker, we recommend opting for KYLA Riviera cocktails – an innovative range featuring a lively twist on classic cocktail culture with modern, multidimensional flavors, alongside gut-friendly probiotics. Sessionable and sparkling with surprising flavors, each 12 oz. single-can serving offers 7% alcohol, 150 calories, only 3 grams of sugar and 2 grams of carbs.

Stevie’s Note: I have tried ALL of the RIVIERA Cocktails from Kyla! These are amazingly good. The flavors are crisp and they are very flavorful.
I highly recommend them all but my favorites are the Bergamot Blood Orange Fizz and the Pom Pom Collins!
KYLA Hard Kombucha’s Sunbreak Series represents the moment the sun breaks through the gray with refreshingly radiant flavors.
Paying homage to the Pacific Northwest, Sunbreak offers an ABV of 6.5% and flavors like Sunset Trio (Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava), Lavender Lemonade, Pineapple Ginger Colada and Coconut Crush, and recently released Lychee Lemonade and Peach Tepache.

Stevie’s Note: I have sampled the Sunbreak Series and I like these flavors too! I really like all of these flavors. I have not seen the two new flavors.. but I am
sure they are equally as good!
