Food and beverage brands claim to be “all-natural” with “super-powered” ingredients that will benefit your body in more ways than one. While some brands can confirm their claims, others aren’t so honest, especially when it comes to ginger beer. Many ginger beers on the market contain only ginger flavoring and coloring but don’t contain any real ginger. They’re packed with artificial ingredients and additives—none of which your body needs. Leaving consumers to wonder, “what am I really drinking?”

To answer any questions or concerns, we’ve put together a list of every ingredient that goes into our cultured ginger beer flavors because we believe in transparency. And because you should know what you put into your body. Clean, fresh ingredients have always been a non-negotiable for us, so we create products that put your well-being first. Our flavors are vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and free from artificial flavors and preservatives.

With Oliko, you can sip back without worry and feel good about what you put into your body.

Original: You’re holding the OG of cultured ginger beer. Brewed with live cultures, Peruvian ginger, and fresh ingredients for untamed flavor and a taste that does more. Functional, deliciously simple, and as good for you as it looks. Sit back and sip on something better. 

Only 3 Ingredients: Fresh pressed Peruvian ginger, live cultures, and cane sugar

Why we chose these ingredients: We chose organic Peruvian ginger for the fresh, bold spice it contains. Though there are many fantastic ginger-growing regions around the world, Peruvian ginger is accessible, has a bold yellow color, and a strong earthy spice component. We decided to blend that with just a touch of organic cane sugar. We realize the controversy around refined sugars and do our best to limit the amounts we use. We can’t deny the fact that just a hint of cane sugar adds deep complexity to our beverages that no other sweetener can match.

Carrot Turmeric: Veg out. A tangy zing that will wake up your tastebuds, this blend of carrot, turmeric, and Peruvian ginger can tame tummies and balance well-being. Brewed with live cultures for untamed flavor and a taste that does more. Add it to any experience, sit back, and enjoy the spicy sensation.

Ingredients: Fresh pressed Peruvian ginger, live cultures, cane sugar, turmeric, and organic carrots

Why we chose this flavor combination: So why did we decided to pair a ginger beer with the earthy flavor of carrots and turmeric? For starters, we found that carrots are one of the best vegetables for blending with other non-vegetable ingredients. They are earthy, robust, packed with nutrients and it’s an easy, familiar taste for most consumers to get behind. Turmeric has an abundance of proven health benefits, it’s part of the Zingiberaceae family along with ginger, and using just the right amount, adds a bitter, earthy punch to this “below-ground” ginger beer.

Apple Cardamom: Say hello to a real palate pleaser. This balanced blend of green apple and cardamom is brewed with live cultures, Peruvian ginger, and fresh ingredients for untamed flavor and a taste that does more. Enjoy light and guilt-free sipping that adds to every experience.

Ingredients: Fresh pressed Peruvian ginger, live cultures, cane sugar, cardamom, and organic green apples

Why we chose this flavor combination: Apples are hands down our favorite fruit. Boulder, CO (where OliKo is brewed and bottled) used to be filled with fruit tree orchards. This sparked a passion for apples for our founder, Gabriel, growing up. Granny Smith’s are tart, crisp, refreshing, and contain pectin, a prebiotic. Cardamom is a Southeast Asian spice that has a unique peppery note, besides pairing amazingly with apples and ginger, cardamom is a cornerstone in Ayurvedic medicine.

Our bottle is transparent because it means that you can be certain that everything we say is in the bottle, is in every bottle. From the live cultures to the Peruvian ginger and fresh ingredients. All-natural, no artificial colors or flavors. Ever. Oliko is bottled to be better.
