Sparkling Ice Spiked Grapefruit Splash Hard Seltzer


 Sparkling Ice Spiked Grapefruit Splash Hard Seltzer is so mildly alcoholic that you hardly know you're drinking something with alcohol in it. 

After that it's a solid grapefruit beverage. I'm not the biggest fan of grapefruit drinks but this one is very much like the real deal. 

I would say this is good enough to drink.

Sparkling Ice Spiked Lemonade Refresher Hard Seltzer

Sparkling Ice Spiked Lemonade Refresher Hard Seltzer has a strong lemon flavor. It's kind of like lemon water with more lemon. I don't know if I call it refreshing, but I would say it would go over well on a hot day. 

This is only 4% alcohol so don't think it's going to get you very drunk. That is unless you drink a lot of the stuff which can be a good or bad thing dependent on your drinking habits. 

I would say this stuff is okay, I wouldn't get more but I wouldn't turn it down if it were free.

Vive Organic Sparkling Immunity Blackberry Elderberry Drink


 A crazy man handed me a few cans of this Vive Organic Sparkling Immunity Blackberry Elderberry Drink. It is indeed very berry in flavor. It's berry-ness reminds me of red wine or at least grape juice.

This will never be as good as a soda to me, not a normal soda anyway, but it may help with a hangover more. The fellow who gave them to me knows hangovers well but I think he found this stuff rather than paid for it. 

Well, I drank it and I'm not dead. Buy yours from the store and don't risk death.

Izze Sparkling Lemonade Blackberry

Izze Sparkling Lemonade Blackberry is the tree hugger version of soda. It may taste a bit better if you squeezed a tree hugger really hard and made juice. I can say this is a complex flavor with a bitter finish, no added sugar, and a smooth run. 

Given that this is 'I am better than you' soda I guess it's for people who don't drink coke. I would imagine they snort it, but that's not the same thing. I'm told enough pot will make anything taste good.

Anyway, hippy juice if you like that sort of thing. Me, I wouldn't get this again.

evian+ Sparkling Mineral Enhanced Drink Grapefruit & Basil


 Evian+ Sparkling Mineral Enhanced Drink Grapefruit & Basil found it's way to my local Grocery Outlet and one of the staff tapped me on the shoulder and said "this is a great deal". I got three cases.

If they had more I would have gotten more. If they get more I will get more. I love this stuff. Why do I love this stuff? It's good water and it gives me cans to donate to my orphans. 

That said, the basil is so slight that I can't be sure that it's there. I mean, I don't know if grapefruit goes with basil, but this is mostly just grapefruit.

I would still get more, but you get the idea.

Blue Monkey Sparkling Passion Fruit Juice


 Blue Monkey Sparkling Passion Fruit Juice is wholly devoid of oddly colored monkey. Passion fruit does smell a bit, which is a little monkey like, but the monkey stops there. As popular as this drink is in the Blue Monkey lineup that monkey connection must be very important. 

In any case, this is what happens when fruit juice and soda have a kitten. There is a lot more work if they have a baby and you will do a lot more cleaning up poop. If you have a kitten and their mother there is no whiping involved. 

What I'm saying here, is that this is a good product. It will keep you healthy longer than soda. In the end it's still sugar water but sugar water with vitamins in it to keep you from getting sick.

blue monkey Sparkling Mango Juice Drink


 blue monkey should spell their name with capitals but I guess that's no big deal. Their Sparkling Mango Juice Drink is the closest I have ever come to mango soda and given that it's fifty five percent juice I guess it's as good as it will get. 

It doesn't have the thickness I would associate with mango juice and is much lighter in flavor. All in all, this is some good stuff. I really think that if I liked mango more I would get more of this. 

I'm way too fat to be buying drinks anyway.

Evian+ Mind Sparkling Mineral Enhanced Drink Lime Ginger


 

Evian+ Mind Sparkling Mineral Enhanced Drink Lime Ginger is light on the ginger. I can't really taste it at all. The lime is there for the most part but then how much flavor should there really be in this kind of thing. 

All said, this is great water and very refreshing with no sugar to make me more fat.

Little Debbie Sparkling Strawberry Unicorn Cakes

Little Debbie Sparkling Strawberry Unicorn Cakes look like so much fun but taste nothing like unicorn. I mean, I don't get the connection and no that pink and white thing on the box is not a real unicorn. 

They don't taste strongly strawberry, but I guess strawberries don't have that much of a taste anyway. 

These little cakes are more of a talking point than a dessert. Not to say that they are bad but for being unicorn cakes they should be magical. If a big thing for you is how cool your coffee cake looks than these are great. 

If taste is your thing not so much.

Izze Cherry Line Sparkling Juice


 Izze Cherry Line Sparkling Juice is very tart. I mean, you would never think this was soda because of the tartness and it has the same calories as some sodas. Not many, most of them have a good deal more, but this is very tart. 

I wouldn't try to get smashed adding vodka to this, but if you like your drinks dry it will very much work out for you. I don't find it refreshing, but I should be drinking water anyway.

Trader Joe's Sparkling Black Tea with Peach Juice


 As the season wears on you may need a drink and reaching for Trader Joe's Sparkling Black Tea with Peach Juice may sound like a good idea. This is not as refreshing as tea sweetened with peaches. 

I have to say this stuff isn't great and unless you want to serve it with some 'American Honey' by Wild Turkey it just won't quench your thirst.

Ocean Spray Sparkling Cranberry Raspberry Flavor


 Ocean Spray Sparkling Cranberry Raspberry Flavor isn't that great of a combination. I have to admit that it's a little two tart for me. I guess you could add some sugary stuff to make it work but then why buy it at all? 

Half the sugar of soda, not as good as water. Fail.

Izze Sparkling Lemonade Original


 Izze Sparkling Lemonade Original is refreshing enough. I mean, it tastes like grapefruit juice to me, but it's not a bad flavor. I think this stuff is for mixing drinks, and I tried it at a time when I needed to be sober enough to write a review. That would be after three drinks. 

A fourth drink would have dulled my memory of drinking, but to be honest this stuff grows on you. I would say try it with your favorite hard liquor, but drink responsibly.

Canada Dry Peach Mango Sparkling Seltzer Water


 Canada Dry Peach Mango Sparkling Seltzer Water has a vaguely fruity taste that is unoffensive. I can't say it tastes much like peach or mango, but if I wanted those things I would eat them. There is a growing definition of water now days, and I don't like it. I think water should be water but this stuff is okay.

Canada Dry Original Sparkling Seltzer Water


 Canada Dry Original Sparkling Seltzer Water setting the standard for stuff to put your whisky in since 1904. You don't get more classy than Canada Dry so far as I know. Then I don't know much about those kind of parties anyway. 

Canada Dry Seltzer is a smooth Sparkling Water that will get the job done. I like it, most folks do as well. 

Then, most seltzer is seltzer I guess.

Napa Valley Sparkling Natural Mineral Water

Napa Valley Sparkling Natural Mineral Water is the kind of thing that makes you ask yourself "why is that a trademark?" Natural should not be trademarked because then it does not need to be natural.  

Well, this fancy pants water tastes off. I mean, it's okay but not like normal water and not as good for thirst.

Star Wars Space Punch

May the 4th be with you with this Star Wars Space Punch. It's just the thing to keep your vitamins up on those long space missions. Like most Cliché space foods this tastes like crap and you can probably still find it at the local discount store. Now I need to go feed this crap to my plants. Blaa!

Soleil Blood Orange Flavored Sparkling Water Beverage

Soleil Blood Orange Flavored Sparkling Water Beverage is the kind of thing they drink in the fancy part of California. Well, that's where I picked it up anyway. I kept it in my car and kept drinking it until I ran out of it save for two cans so I have to say it goes well with most moods.
Given that I was drinking it in the cold and rain I have to say it hits the spot. Good stuff really but they are out on a limb calling it blood orange. I mean, orange is orange as fare as I can taste.

Bubly Sparkling Water Strawberrybubly

Bubly Sparkling Water Strawberrybubly tastes mildly of strawberry. Well, chemical strawberry. I drink this stuff because I'm fat but it doesn't make me sick.

Welch's Sparkling Pina Colada

I know that Pina Coladas are a summer thing, but you know this is a time where you need a little fruit and booze. I mean, look at that. It just screams "feel better, drink this". 

Sadly, this contains no booze and you need to add your own. No worries, I have plenty.
