Drink of the Week: DONA Spice Sodas

Making spice-based tea concentrates since 2014, DONA expanded into the soda game late last year. Each DONA Spice Soda begins with whole spices sourced from around the globe which are then fresh-ground per batch and employed in a slow steeping process alongside citrus, herbs and flowers like chamomile and elderflower at the company’s Brooklyn brewery. The thoughtful process and quality ingredients break the typical soda mold in the three caffeine-free flavors: Pink Peppercorn Lemon, Juniper Lime and Turmeric Honeybush. A poppy effervescence, slight sweetness added from natural sugar and eye-grabbing packaging make these the perfect counterpoint to your usual summertime go-to. $12/3-pack, drinkdona.com
