We travel

Before Main Street, Sip Well was a pop-up — a regular slot at GastroPark in West Hartford and the named drink vendor on the regional card show circuit. We still are. Bring the soda bar to a wedding, an office or a party.

Questions

New to dirty soda?

What is prebiotic soda, and which ones do you use?

Prebiotic sodas are soft drinks made with added plant fibre and less sugar than a classic soda. We build on Olipop, Poppi and Bloom, plus Halfday iced tea, and seven of our fourteen signature drinks use them. Prebiotic drinks are 24oz $8 and 32oz $9. We are telling you what is in the can, not making a health claim — check the label if you want the detail.

What is dirty soda?

Dirty soda is a soft drink built to order with flavoured syrups, cream and sometimes fruit puree or cold foam over ice. It started in Utah and spread nationally through social media. At Sip Well a classic example is Dr. J — Dr Pepper with vanilla syrup and coconut cream. The idea is that the drink is assembled for you rather than poured from a can.

Do you have anything without soda in it?

Yes. Our four Refreshers are built on coconut water or sparkling water with no soda at all — Sedona Sunset, Layton Way, Sweet September and Golden Coast. Golden Coast uses only fruit puree and no syrup, so it is the least sweet drink we make. Our two Prebiotic Teas are built on Halfday iced tea rather than soda.

How much do your drinks cost?

Signature Sodas and Refreshers are 24oz $6 and 32oz $7. Prebiotic Sodas and Prebiotic Teas are 24oz $8 and 32oz $9 — the prebiotic bases cost more than classic soda, which is the whole of the difference. Create Your Own starts at $6 for 24oz, depending on the base you pick. Cold foam adds $1; True Lime and True Lemon add $0.40.

Do you have sugar-free options?

We stock sugar-free syrups in blue raspberry, coconut, peach and vanilla, and you can build any Create Your Own drink with them. Diet Dr Pepper, Diet Coke and Sprite Zero are all available as bases. If you are managing sugar closely, ask us at the counter and we will tell you exactly what goes in.

Can I build my own drink?

Yes, and the whole bar is open to you. Pick from sixteen bases, thirteen syrups, four sugar-free syrups, three fruit purees and vanilla or coconut cream, then add cold foam, True Lime or True Lemon. The full list of every option we stock is on our menu page — nothing is held back.

Which drinks are caffeine-free?

Our four Refreshers are built on coconut water or sparkling water, so there is no soda and no tea in them. Sun and Moon is built on Sprite. If caffeine matters to you, tell us at the counter and we will build something on a caffeine-free base — and check the can, since we would rather you read the label than take our word for it.
