A Glasgow-based drinks business has expanded its portfolio of tasty drinks and have launched a brand new exotic flavour.
Rapscallion Soda was born in Gorbals back in 2016 and has come on leaps and bounds since then, satisfying the taste buds of their thirsty customers with a variety of flavours including Ginga Ninja, Burnt Lemon, Dry Lime, Rhubarb, Strawberry and Cranachan.
The fresh fruit soft drink brand have now released the X_03 Passionfruit edition to their impressive collection.

The business has made a name for itself around the world - with their design-led pastel cans - through creating sodas that use fresh, natural ingredients with complex taste combinations to create sustainable, vegan, organic and low-sugar soft drinks.
X_03 Passionfruit is the newest addition to the fresh fruit line-up and previous sold-out X_series flavours include Blueberry, Bramble and Pina Colada.
The ‘X’ stands for experimental and exclusive. These micro batches give customers the opportunity to influence the final flavour profile and vote on future batches.
Founder Gregor Leckie said “I’m excited about this year, we survived the worst of the last two years but with fresh interest from investors coming onboard they’ll be injecting some much needed capital into our new Innovation Facility in the heart of Glasgow.
“We have just finished canning our latest passionfruit project, and we’re excited to see the response from our customers, we’ve worked hard to create a bright, light new expression of a tropical fruit that is usually enjoyed alongside a mountain of sugar.
“This new recipe captures the full taste and aroma of these incredible Columbian Passionfruits. We have enjoyed mixing these trials at home with a slice of citrus, but we always encourage experimental additions. If you’re not involved in Dry January this year, we love it with a splash of white rum” explained Gregor."
Partner in business and life, Sophie Easthope added: “Our passionfruit is one of the X series we continue to be really excited about, we like pushing the boundaries and we work closely with our friends with benefits members to trial small scale projects that get two thumbs up before we start looking at scale. This gives us the chance to work closely with our community and get to know their taste buds better.”
The new Passionfruit X_series is available online now and incorporates Rapscallion’s commitment to fresh produce whilst pushing the boundaries of what adult soft drinks can be and sourcing new crops outside of Scotland.
The drinks, including the latest edition, are available from some of your favourite foodie destinations in Glasgow including Sprigg, Crabshakk and Greencity Wholefoods as well as online.
