Hot Girl Soda

Hot Girl Soda is a refreshing, low-sugar, aloe vera-based soda brand founded by Aarica Griner and Nick Murray. Despite a compelling wellness concept, the company had launched just two and a half months before filming and had only $8,500 in Amazon sales. All five Sharks passed.

What Is Hot Girl Soda?

Hot Girl Soda is a low-sugar soda made with aloe vera juice, fruit juices, and sparkling water. The brand was born when Aarica Griner, struggling with acne-prone skin, began mixing her own healthier beverages. The brand launched in March 2025.

The Shark Tank Pitch

Aarica and Nick had invested about $120,000 of their own money, with Aarica’s mother taking a second mortgage to support the business. Sales were just $8,500 on Amazon at the time of filming.

The Deal

No deal. Each Shark passed, with the early-stage nature of the business being the primary concern.
