There was a time when your drink choices felt fairly straightforward.
You had alcohol on one side. Sugary soft drinks and energy drinks, on the other hand.
And in the middle? Not much.
That's one of the reasons SKÏP was created.
The frustration was that there never seemed to be an in-between option.
-
Something you could reach for when you wanted a refreshing drink that felt a little more considered.
-
Something with great flavour.
-
Something made with ingredients we felt confident putting our name behind.
-
And something that fits naturally into everyday life.
Today, more people are looking for alternatives to traditional soft drinks.
According to the British Soft Drinks Association, low and no-sugar drinks now account for more than 70% of all soft drinks sold in the UK, reflecting a growing appetite for different kinds of refreshment.
At the same time, more people are becoming curious about what's actually in their drinks and how those drinks fit into everyday life.
That's where SKÏP sits.
As a different option when the moment feels right.

Is SKÏP a Different Kind of Fizzy Drink?
"Healthy" is one of those words that means different things to different people.
That's why it's a word we approach carefully.
Rather than treating healthy as a claim, we see it as a process.
For us, that means using ingredients we can stand behind, being transparent about what's inside the can and creating drinks that fit comfortably into everyday life.
It also means recognising that everyone's needs are different. What feels right for one person may not be right for another, which is why it's always worth speaking with a healthcare professional if you're unsure about any food or drink choice.
SKÏP was created to be an enjoyable drink made with carefully chosen ingredients and great flavour.
That's what matters most.
How Many Calories Are in a SKÏP?
Each can of SKÏP contains approximately 24–30 calories, depending on the flavour.
For many people, that's one of the things that makes SKÏP appealing as an everyday drink.
The focus has always been on creating something light, refreshing and easy to enjoy.
A 2024 YouGov survey found that calorie content remains one of the factors many UK consumers consider when choosing soft drinks, particularly as people become more conscious of everyday food and drink choices.
Does SKÏP Contain Added Sugar?
No. SKÏP contains no added sugar.
Instead, the drinks are made with fruit juice, botanicals and carefully selected ingredients to create a balanced flavour profile.
The goal was never to create something intensely sweet.
The aim was to create something refreshing, grown-up and easy to come back to.
That balance is a big part of what gives SKÏP its distinctive character.
How Does SKÏP Compare to a Regular Fizzy Drink?
Different drinks tend to serve different moments.
Traditional fizzy drinks are often chosen for flavour and refreshment.
Energy drinks are usually about getting through a moment quickly.
SKÏP was designed around a different idea.
Not just flavour, but how a drink fits into a moment.
A moment of ease. A sense of balance. A chance to slow down for a minute.
The starting point wasn't simply what the drink would taste like.
It was how it would fit into someone's day.
Whether that's lunch, the commute home, an evening on the sofa or catching up with friends, SKÏP was designed to be a drink that feels easy to reach for.

How Does SKÏP Compare to Traditional Soft Drinks?
There isn't a single answer to that question.
Different people are looking for different things from the drinks they choose.
-
Some prioritise flavour.
-
Some focus on ingredients.
-
Others care most about calories, sugar content or functionality.
What SKÏP offers is a different option.
One built around real fruit juice, botanicals and cold-pressed CBD, while still being a genuinely enjoyable drink.
One that sits comfortably between traditional soft drinks and the growing world of functional beverages.
Rather than trying to tell people what they should drink, we've always preferred to give people another choice.
What are the Ingredients in SKÏP?
Every ingredient has been chosen with care.
For us, functionality should never come at the expense of taste.
SKÏP combines:
-
Real fruit juice
-
Botanical ingredients
-
Carbonated water
-
Natural flavourings
-
Stevia and erythritol for sweetness
Particular attention has been given to the cold-pressed CBD.
It would have been easier and cheaper to use standard CBD isolate, but preserving more of the hemp plant's natural profile has always been an important part of the process.
For us, the proof is as much in how something is made as the ingredients themselves.
Why Does SKÏP Use Real Fruit and Botanicals?
Because flavour matters. A lot.
Before anything else, SKÏP is a drink.
People come back to it because they enjoy drinking it.
The botanicals and fruit juices help create flavours that feel refreshing, balanced and grown-up.
Whether that's the brightness of Lemon & Basil, the freshness of Elderflower & Mint or the warmth of Peach & Ginger, each flavour has been created to feel distinctive without being overpowering.
The functionality may be what sparks someone's curiosity.
The flavour is what keeps people coming back.
Why People Reach for SKÏP in Different Moments
One of the things we've always liked about SKÏP is that it isn't tied to one specific occasion.
Some people enjoy SKÏP with lunch.
Others keep a few cans in the fridge for evenings, weekends, or catching up with friends.
The routine tends to build itself because it fits around the moments that already exist in your day.
As more people discover botanical and functional drinks, categories that once felt niche are becoming a familiar part of everyday shopping baskets. People are increasingly looking for drinks that fit naturally into different moments of the day while still delivering great flavour.
That's exactly where SKÏP fits.
Not as a replacement for every drink.
Just as another option when something refreshing, flavourful and considered feels right.
If you're not sure which flavour you'll enjoy most, the Variety Pack is an easy place to start.
