From Utah to Hawaii: The Story Behind Shaka and the Love for Tropical Drinks
The Passion Behind Creating Shaka
Every great brand starts with a spark—and for Shaka, that spark was the dream of bottling good vibes. Born from a love of tropical flavors and a passion for fun, Shaka's brand story is about more than just soda additives. It's about creating a drink experience that brings joy, nostalgia, and a taste of paradise to your everyday life.
Our Signature Flavors
At the heart of Shaka are our carefully crafted tropical flavor additives designed to transform ordinary sodas into extraordinary experiences:
Coconut Dream
This creamy tropical escape pairs perfectly with classic dark sodas like Coke, Diet Coke, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Diet Dr Pepper and Root Beer. The smooth coconut essence creates a vacation-worthy drink with every sip.
Raspberry Coconut
Our perfect blend of tart raspberry and smooth coconut creates a balanced flavor that complements classic dark sodas like Coke, Diet Coke, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Dr Pepper and Diet Dr Pepper. This combination delivers a refreshing twist to your everyday soda.
Vanilla Peach
This sweet and fragrant mixture pairs beautifully with Coke, Diet Coke, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Sprite, Lemonade and Sparkling Water. The subtle vanilla warmth with juicy peach notes creates an instantly refreshing experience.
Coconut Lime
Our zesty yet tropical blend pairs wonderfully with classic dark colored sodas like Coke, Diet Coke, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Diet Dr Pepper, Mountain Dew and Root Beer. The tangy lime cuts through the sweet coconut for the perfect tropical balance.
How Utah's Love for Soda Inspired the Idea
If you know Utah, you know it's got a thing for soda. The "dirty soda" trend took off here, turning simple fountain drinks into custom creations loaded with cream, coconut, lime, and more. Drive-thrus, soda bars, and drink shops became hotspots for families, teens, and anyone needing a mid-day boost.
As Utah natives, we were fully immersed in that culture. But we wanted more—we craved flavors that transported us, not just caffeinated us. That's when we had the idea: take the soda culture we love and infuse it with the tropical escape we really wanted in every sip.
The Journey to Crafting the Perfect Tropical Soda Additives
Turning those bold island flavors into drinkable magic wasn't easy—but we were up for the challenge. We tested, tasted, and tweaked our formulas to ensure every Shaka additive delivered that authentic tropical experience. We weren't just chasing good flavor—we were chasing a feeling.
The result? A line of the best soda additives on the market—crafted to help you turn any soda into an island-inspired masterpiece. From the creamy richness of Coconut Dream to the tangy brightness of Vanilla Peach, there's a Shaka flavor that brings the beach to your cup.
