"  After what must have been a successful testing phase last summer, Starbucks announced that it will launch handcrafted sodas across menus in the U.S. and Asia. According to Nation&amp;#039;s Restaurant News, the new beverages are called Fizzio handcrafted sodas and will come in ginger ale, spiced root beer, and lemon ale flavors. The new offering, set to roll out this summer, is part of a push to bring in more afternoon customers. The Fizzio drinks are &amp;quot;all natural, preservative-free alternatives to sugar-filled sodas with a theater of a custom handcrafted beverage that I am convinced will be a big hit with consumers and drive traffic and incrementally during the key afternoon daypart,&amp;quot; explained Howard Schultz, president and chief executive of Starbucks.
