Hotlips Pizza Portland

Magnificent fruit and summer berries grow here in the Pacific Northwest and we offer the magic to you in a bottle. Each taste tells the story of local-grown fruit. To the explosion of fruit produced by this enchanted place, the hard work of many growers, we apply a traditional brewing process. There’s maximum taste blast and shifts in flavor, surprising notes, harmonies in every sip.

HOTLIPS Soda is real fruit soda pop. Picked-ripe fruit is cooked in open kettles, bringing out the nuanced flavors. Seeds are filtered out, but not pulp, then sparkling water, pure cane sugar (except pear and cranberry – No Added Sugar!) and organic lemon juice are added. Then it is carbonated, put into bottles and pasteurized. It’s simple. High percentages of real fruit. No shortcuts, supplements, artificial flavors or trickery. And no corn syrup. Even the bottles are local, manufactured from 80% recycled glass right here in Portland.

Chef-driven and overseen, the sodas are brewed throughout the year and bottled using refurbished 1960’s-era equipment, capturing the tastes of the Pacific Northwest. Early summer declares itself with strawberry and raspberry. Late summer brings boysenberry, blackberry, and the haunted-looking beauty — the black raspberry. The nights cool, apples,  pears and cranberries ripen. Flavor nuance in HOTLIPS Soda varies from batch to batch depending on the varietal, the heat of the day and cool of the night. Creating connoisseurs of the young and old, as they compare batches, seasons, years, equalizing food snobs and kids.
