Make hop water that actually tastes like hops

How to use

Simply add 0.5 to 2 milliliters (ml) of Hop Drops flavor essence per 12 ounces of sparkling water. If it's your first time, we recommend starting with a full dropper (1 ml) of hop essence.

Measuring is simple using our graduated dropper, which is marked in increments of .25 ml.

For best results, add your preferred dose of Hop Drops essence to an empty glass and pour in sparkling water to ensure even mixing.

All the hop flavor, none of the alcohol

Hop Drops flavor essences are non-alcoholic for guilt-free enjoyment.

Over 2 ounces of hops in each bottle

Every bottle of Hop Drops contains the equivalent of over 2 ounces of hop cones for a flavor punch you just can't find in mass-produced hop waters.

Save big

Each 1 ounce (30 ml) bottle of Hop Drops hop flavor essence can make up to thirty 12 oz. servings of hop water at the suggested dose. This adds up to about half the cost of commercially canned sparkling hop water when adding Hop Drops to plain canned seltzer water or even less when using a carbonation device like a SodaStream!

Say goodbye to hop water that barely tastes like hops

With our graduated dropper, you're in control. Add as much or as little Hop Drops flavor essence to reach the hop flavor you desire.

FAQ

Do Hop Drops contain alcohol?

Hop Drops flavor essence is non-alcoholic and is designed to give you the flavor of hops without the buzz of alcohol.

Can Hop Drops be stored at room temperature?

Hop Drops are shelf stable and can be stored at room temperature. However, once opened, store your Hop Drops flavor essence in the fridge to preserve flavor and prevent spoilage.

How do I keep my Hop Drops fresh?

Oxygen is the enemy of hops! For the longest lasting flavor and aroma, refrigerate Hop Drops after receiving and between uses as lower temperatures reduce oxidative reactions.

When serving, avoid bubbling air into the essence by squeezing the air out of the dropper outside of the bottle before inserting.

After serving, drink hop water while fresh or store in the fridge to prevent oxidation of hop compounds and microbial growth.

Do Hop Drops contain propylene glycol like other sparkling water essences?

No! Unlike typical essences designed for making flavored sparkling water, Hop Drops do not contain propylene glycol and instead use sunflower lecithin, a natural ingredient derived from sunflowers.

Why do Hop Drops make my water appear cloudy or hazy?

That's the hops! Hop Drops contain millions of microscopic droplets of hop aroma and flavor oils. Just like in a hazy IPA, these oil droplets can make the water appear slightly cloudy.

Are Hop Drops only good for making hop water?

While Hop Drops flavor essence was designed with hop water in mind, it can also be used to add hop flavor to any beverage. Try Hop Drops in your favorite kombucha or in place of bitters when making mocktails (or cocktails).

Embrace your creative side and try adding Hop Drops to anything that you think could use a blast of hop aroma and flavor. We'd love to hear what you do with them!

Where are Hop Drops made?

Hop Drops are thoughtfully crafted in small batches in the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains.
