Phocus introduces a caffeinated sparkling water

Clear/Cut Phocus has put its own spin on water. The Louisville Ky.,-based company is introducing a new sparkling water that contains caffeine, which is derived from green tea.

Phocus sparkling waters were created as a natural alternative to sugary, calorie-laden sodas and energy drinks, the company said. Each product contains as much caffeine as an eight-ounce cup of coffee and is Kosher, vegan, non-dairy, non-GMO and gluten-free.

“As active, health-conscious individuals, we found ourselves, like so many others, wanting to shift away from high sugar, artificially sweetened and otherwise unhealthy coffee and energy drinks, but still wanted a quality beverage that could deliver an energy boost,” Tom O’Grady, CEO of Clear/Cut Phocus, said. “When nothing seemed to fit the bill, we set out to create Phocus, a great tasting energizing sparkling water without any of the ‘bad stuff’ that you’d find in most energy drinks and sodas.”  

Currently, available online and in select Louisville retailers, Phocus comes in an 11.5-oz can for the suggested retail price of $1.99. Each sparkling water comes in four flavors: Grapefruit, Cucumber, Blood Orange and Yuzu and Lime.
