From all of us here at Sip & Savor, we wish you a happy Independence Day! Whether you're traveling far or staying close to home, we hope you are staying hydrated while enjoying fireworks, a picnic or pool time. The non-alcoholic beverage industry has a long history of quenching America's thirst and is proud to play an important role in our great nation's economy.

With a direct economic impact of $182.6 billion, our industry provides nearly 253,000 jobs and helps to support hundreds of thousands more that depend, in part, on beverage sales for their livelihoods. Today we make sure to remember those that came before us who worked hard to build our wonderful industry and our great nation.

We are proud to be American companies making American products with American workers in America's hometowns.
