LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Caliwater, the functional cactus water brand co-founded by Vanessa Hudgens and Oliver Trevena, is partnering with Sweetfin to deliver the essence of a California summer through The Cali Bowl by Vanessa Hudgens & Oliver Trevena, an exclusive limited-time bowl available from August 11 through October.
This launch represents the next phase in the brands’ Southern California collaboration, following Caliwater’s introduction at Sweetfin earlier this summer, where customers can already find the brand’s Wild Prickly Pear and Pineapple varieties alongside Sweetfin’s chef-crafted bowls.
Drawing from Vanessa and Oliver’s preferred California tastes, The Cali Bowl features line-caught yellowfin tuna on sushi rice with house-made pineapple ponzu, creamy avocado, pickled Fresno peppers, fresh juicy pineapple, edamame, and toasted macadamia nuts for a satisfying crunch. For a complete California experience, diners can complement the bowl with a refreshing Pineapple Caliwater.
“Summer in California has a flavor, and Oliver and I wanted to capture that feeling in a bowl,” explained Vanessa Hudgens, co-founder of Caliwater. “It’s fresh, vibrant, a little unexpected and filled with ingredients we genuinely love. Pair it with a Pineapple Caliwater and it’s basically our perfect summer lunch.”
The collaboration unites two Southern California brands connected by a common dedication to fresh components, uplifting tastes, and an active way of life.
“Sweetfin has always been one of our favorite places to eat, so creating something together felt incredibly natural,” added Oliver Trevena, co-founder of Caliwater. “The Cali Bowl brings together fresh California ingredients with the flavors Vanessa and I keep coming back to, and of course it pairs perfectly with a Pineapple Caliwater.”
Made from prickly pear cactus water, Caliwater delivers five naturally occurring electrolytes to support hydration and muscle function, along with rare antioxidants called betalains, vitamins C and E, and just 25–35 calories per can. Naturally refreshing and free of artificial sweeteners or additives, Caliwater has become a favorite among wellness-minded consumers looking for clean, everyday hydration.
As Caliwater continues its national expansion, the brand has attracted a growing community of partners and investors who authentically use the product, including Benson Boone, Demi Lovato, Glen Powell, Gerard Butler, Nikki Reed and Cody Bellinger.
