The Cherry on Top: Slice Soda Launches New Shirley Temple Flavor at Target

Classic mocktail gets a modern glow-up with only 35 calories and 5 grams of fiber

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Slice Soda, the iconic '80s brand that's been reimagined by Suja Life for the wellness-minded consumer, today announces the launch of its new Shirley Temple flavor.

Popping the top on pure nostalgia, Slice's better-for-you formula has 5 grams of fiber, only 35 calories and 4 grams of sugar per can, with no high fructose corn syrup and a gut-loving blend of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics – the only brand in the healthy soda category to feature all three biotics.

"We took inspiration from the classic mocktail that's been a favorite of the young and young at heart for generations and gave it a grown-up wellness update, starting with dramatically cutting the sugar," said Nicole Portwood, Chief Marketing Officer at Suja Life. "Whether enjoyed on its own or in a healthified Dirty Shirley, we've also added functional benefits that truly are the cherry on top!"

Born in 1984 as a traditional soda brand, Slice's comeback is all about capturing the best parts of soda while leaving out the bad stuff. This means every can of Slice soda brings real fizz and real flavor. While most brands in the healthy soda category fall flat on the satisfying bubbles of traditional soda, Slice has the highest carbonation level in the category.

Since relaunching in early 2025, Slice has been on an innovation fast-track, with Shirley Temple joining newest flavor launches like Root Beer, Watermelon and Cherry Cola. Just like these new additions, Slice's full lineup is inspired by classic soda flavors and includes Orange, Grape, Lemon Lime, Classic Cola, Cherry Cola, Watermelon, Ginger Ale, Grapefruit Spritz and Strawberry.

Available now, the new Shirley Temple flavor can be found exclusively in the refrigerated section at Target locations coast-to-coast.
