Alani Nu Voodoo Vanilla is bringing Witch’s Brew back for this year’s fall drop, and the return puts a hard-to-find seasonal drink back on the shelf. Griffin Parker said the flavor was constantly sold out last year, which makes this release less like a routine seasonal swap and more like a reset for anyone who missed it.
Griffin Parker on Witch’s Brew
Parker, a Sporked writer, described Witch’s Brew as highly sought after and said people had a hard time finding it last year. That is the practical detail buyers care about: this is not just a flavor returning, it is one that disappeared after the fall season moved on to winter flavors, then came back after demand stayed high.
Witch’s Brew itself is a green apple and caramel drink, while Ruby Apple will arrive as a red apple caramel version of it. Alani Nu is pairing Witch’s Brew and Ruby Apple in a duo pack, which gives the release a clearer buy-in structure than a single-flavor drop and signals that the company is leaning on the original flavor’s reputation to move the new one.
August 10th and early fall
The drinks may become available as soon as August 10th, with cans expected on shelves before early fall. That timing gives shoppers an early window to look for the fall line without waiting for the season to settle in, and it puts the first wave of availability ahead of the point when limited seasonal products usually get squeezed by broader fall resets.
Pumpkin Cream was one of last year’s fall releases, but it is not returning this year. Instead, Alani Nu is using Witch’s Brew as the anchor and Ruby Apple as the fresh twist, a move that keeps the brand’s fall lineup tight rather than expanding it.
Witch’s Brew scarcity
The complication is the same one that made the flavor notable in the first place: last year it was constantly sold out. If Alani Nu keeps release volume tight again, the return could recreate the same shortage that pushed shoppers to hunt for it in the first place, even as the company tries to satisfy demand with a duo pack and an earlier shelf window.
For buyers, the near-term takeaway is simple: watch for the fall drop around August 10th and look for Witch’s Brew and Ruby Apple together, not as a broad seasonal rollout. The release is back, but the supply story may still decide who actually gets to buy it.
