Roots Soda Co.

First craft beer, now craft soda: Edinburgh entrepreneurs Jon Seller and Mark Pool began the quest for the perfect all-natural fizzy pop in spring 2012. After tryouts at Edinburgh Farmers' Market, the debut flavours are Hoodoo, a mix of citrus fruit, hibiscus and chilli, and Kaleidoscope - strawberry, orange, basil and balsamic vinegar. As of June 2013, their bottled sodas are available in several Edinburgh outlets as well as BrewDog bars as far afield as Bristol and London. As yet Pool is the company's only full-time employee, but they have plans to expand.
