Liquid Death Drops Killbert Grape and Sinister Ginger as Soda Wars Heat Up
Liquid Death BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Liquid Death has spent the past few days doing exactly what it does best, blurring the line between beverage company and pop‑culture stunt machine. Sporked reports that the brand quietly rolled out three new “soda‑style” sparkling water flavors with typically over‑the‑top names: Killbert Grape, Sinister Ginger, and MTN Dont, clear riffs on classic grape, ginger, and citrus sodas but positioned as better‑for‑you, low‑sugar canned chaos. Sinister Ginger is already shipping in a new Classic Soda variety pack on Amazon, while Killbert Grape has shown up at discount chain Five Below, with more national retail placement expected; MTN Dont is being teased but not yet widely listed, setting up a slow‑burn rollout designed for social buzz. Sporked frames these as the next evolution of Liquid Deaths “soda‑style water” universe, a shift that could matter long‑term as the company leans harder into flavored, soda‑adjacent drinks rather than just still and sparkling water.
Marketing industry coverage has simultaneously been busy treating Liquid Death as a case study rather than a curiosity. NoGood, in a fresh roundup of top brands on Instagram, highlights Liquid Death as a standout for its hardcore metal aesthetic and unwavering commitment to being “the funniest thing on your feed,” quoting SVP of marketing Dan Murphy on shares being their core social metric. That piece underscores how their social persona has become a template for brands chasing cult‑like engagement, cementing Liquid Deaths reputation as an entertainment‑first company whose product happens to be water.
Marketing Brew adds another layer, quoting Dan Murphy in its look at 2026 social trends. He predicts “more and more AI slop” on social and hints Liquid Death might parody that wave rather than embrace it earnestly, reinforcing the brands long‑term strategy to prize originality and real entertainment over generic, AI‑generated content. And brand‑strategy outlets like WARC and Ori have been circulating recent analyses of CEO Mike Cessarios Cannes Lions remarks, casting Liquid Death as a company that treats marketing like a paid‑for show and keeps spending roughly 12 percent of revenue to stay radically entertaining. While some upcoming collaborations and flavors get teased in that coverage, anything beyond the named soda‑style launches and the previously revealed future Feastables tie‑in sits in the realm of speculation rather than confirmed near‑term news.
