Boba has moved beyond traditional tea. Boba POPS are putting an adult spin on the colorful popping pearls by infusing them with alcohol and flavors designed to complement cocktails, sparkling drinks and desserts.
Made exclusively for adults 21 and older, Boba POPS are alcohol-infused pearls that burst when bitten, adding flavor, texture and a playful element to drinks. The concept is simple: Fill a glass with ice, pour in a favorite beverage, add the pearls and enjoy.
The pearls can be paired with champagne, cocktails, seltzer, lemonade and other drinks, giving hosts another way to customize beverages for parties and gatherings.
Boba POPS come in several flavors, each designed to work with different drinks. Espresso Boba POPS, priced at $29.99, feature a deep espresso flavor with a smooth, lightly sweet finish. The pearls can be added to espresso martinis, cold brew-inspired drinks, affogatos and after-dinner cocktails.
Lychee Boba POPS also sell for $29.99 and offer floral, juicy sweetness with pear and rose notes. They are designed to complement lychee martinis, prosecco, spritzes and champagne cocktails.
For a fruit-forward option, Strawberry Boba POPS deliver a sweet flavor with a slight tang. They can be paired with rosé, strawberry margaritas and spritzes, making them an option for summer gatherings, date nights and celebrations.
Blueberry Boba POPS bring a sweet and slightly tart flavor to drinks such as lemonade, blueberry spritzes and brunch cocktails.
Peach Boba POPS offer nectar-like sweetness with honey, light citrus and floral notes. The company recommends pairing them with Bellinis, peach mojitos, margaritas and bourbon cocktails.
The Piña Colada variety takes a tropical approach, combining pineapple and creamy coconut flavors. The pearls can be used with piña coladas, rum cocktails and frozen drinks.
Beyond the flavor, the appeal of Boba POPS is the interactive experience. Instead of simply adding a garnish to a cocktail, the pearls provide a burst of flavor and texture as they pop when bitten.
The product also gives hosts an opportunity to create customized drinks without requiring complicated mixology skills. A simple sparkling beverage can become more colorful and interactive with the addition of flavored pearls.
Boba POPS are available in multiple varieties for $29.99 each. Because they contain alcohol, they are intended only for consumers age 21 and older.
