This summer in Quebec, botanical beverages are taking over... There’s a trend gaining momentum across Quebec this spring, and it’s worth paying attention to: botanical beverages. Gone are the hidden sugars, artificial flavours, and endless ingredient lists. In their place: authentic flavours rooted in the land, in cans you’re actually proud to crack open. Harrington is part of that movement. And if you haven’t discovered them yet, now’s the perfect time.

The Problem with Sugary Drinks

We all know it. Sodas may taste good in the moment, but they don’t really leave you feeling great. Too much added sugar, empty calories, and “zero sugar” versions filled with sweeteners that don’t really solve the issue. Yet when the weather heats up, plain water doesn’t always cut it.

That’s exactly where a great botanical sparkling water changes the game. Bubbles, flavour, freshness — without all the extras.

Harrington: Quebec in a Can

Harrington botanical sparkling waters are crafted with alkaline mineral spring water sourced from the Laurentians, elevated by flavours directly inspired by Quebec’s boreal forest. Behind every can is a 410-acre family estate that serves as an open-air laboratory, where nature decides what ends up in your glass.

Spruce. Wintergreen. Juniper berry.

Flavours from here — complex, subtle, and nothing like the lemon or raspberry options found everywhere else. It’s a beverage that tells a story. And that’s rare.

Zero added sugar. 100% flavour. No artificial sweeteners. No colouring. The taste comes from plants, period. It really is that simple — and that beautiful.

Why Everyone Is Talking About It This Summer

The “no sugar” movement is here to stay. Cutting back on sugar, choosing better ingredients, reading labels — these habits have become second nature for many Quebec consumers. Botanical sparkling waters answer that demand perfectly, without sacrificing the pleasure of drinking something genuinely delicious.

Local is more than just a trend. Supporting producers from here and knowing where what we consume comes from has become an important value across Quebec. Harrington embodies that naturally, without needing to shout about it. The territory is already in the bottle.

Mocktails are also having a major moment. Alcohol-free evenings, sober aperitifs, and meals where everyone wants a great non-alcoholic option — mocktails are becoming part of everyday life. And a Harrington sparkling water with a few mint leaves, a cucumber slice, or a splash of lime already makes for a memorable drink. No advanced mixology required.

Perfect for Every Summer Moment

Brunch on the patio, a workout, lunch at the office, or an evening with friends — Harrington botanical sparkling water fits in everywhere. Elegant enough to replace a glass of wine at dinner, yet light enough to enjoy during an active afternoon.

Most importantly, it makes staying hydrated enjoyable. Drinking plain water all day when it’s 30°C outside takes discipline not everyone has. The bubbles and botanical flavours, on the other hand, make you want another sip naturally.

Conclusion

Sugary drinks are everywhere. But an alternative that genuinely tastes great, comes from here, respects what you put into your body, and gives you a little sense of pride with every sip — that’s Harrington.
