Sparkling Ice, the bold side of water with only 12 calories per bottle and contains vitamins. Recently we had an opportunity to attend the Oxford Foodies Festival and taste the five flavours offered by the company. The flavours include: Black Raspberry, Cloudy Lemon, Kiwi Strawberry, Orange Mango and Peach Nectarine. The Kiwi Strawberry and Black Raspberry are among our favourites but they are all equally yummy. Though in the UK there is only 5 flavours, the USA has about 20 flavours of different combinations.
Sparkling Ice #BoldSideOfWater
The UK branch of the company was started in 2016 but the headquarters was launched in 1999. Since its inception in the UK the brand has won two awards; Best new convenience in 2016 by Superdrug and Best Product on 2017. It is easy to see why the brand has already garnered up these awards, great tasting lightly carbonated water. The drinks are gluten and caffeine free with only 12 calories and contains vitamins.
With the health consciousness of today’s society a product that boosts such low calories and is good for you always wins. Prior to collaborating with the brand I had tried Mango orange and absolutely loved it. I am someone who rarely drinks water unless it is flavoured or fruit infused. It was an easier transition for me from other brands to Sparkling Ice as it catered to my needs.
Website Review
As with every brand with a website I like to take my time to explore the website and get familiar. I found that the website was really simple but nice looking in design and straight to the point. If you clicked on the product, you are presented with information on the flavour chosen and ingredients. Navigating away from the products you can read the short ‘about page‘ with useful information. The most useful I found was the FAQ page which has answered your frequently asked questions and address others too.
Thoughts on the products
Sparkling flavoured water can be purchased from your local Tesco, Sainsbury’s, WHSmith and Superdrug. It comes in a 500mL individual bottles but two flavours (400mL) can be purchased in case of 4 per pack. Drinks are definitely lightly carbonated and can easily be mistaken for normal juice. I found the flavoured water tasted really nice and was very quenching.
Overall I love the 5 flavours that I have tried so far and now looking to try different drink recipes with Sparkling Ice. I highly recommend the brand to anyone like me who enjoys flavoured water or wants to try something new.
Oyinkan Ogunleye says
Oh so it probably tastes like seltzer water. I feel like any carbonated drink that’s not soda is seltzer water. Lol

Have never seen or heard of these before. The Black raspberry sounds yummy though. I don’t really like the taste of plain water so these are a good shout!

Same, I rarely enjoy drinking plain water I prefer flavoured so this is a winner for me

I will definitely be trying this today. Looks like a good alternative to soft drinks for me.

I saw these on an advert recently, but I didn’t give it much notice. Seems like a water-drink hybrid. The low calorie content makes it more interesting..

With the current popularity of the brand and their drinks maybe not too long

I’ve seen these bottles before but never really looked at the flavours, but they sound tasty x

Good for people on a diet and trying to lose some weight. It contains only 12 calories. I have seen a couple of this at the super market but did not give it a try. Guess I would next time round.
Cecilia Boateng says
This seems like a cool idea! I have never tried one of these- I had always wondered how it tastes.

I would say yes to a bottle of sparkling flavoured water any day. Additionally, I agree with you that good websites make it easy for customers to understand all about the product. I particularly love FAQ pages. Cheers!!

My husband loves Sparkling Ice and has tried most of the flavors. I prefer he drink those over water so it’s a great compromise.

I have also discovered this brand and I’m in love with the Black Raspberry flavour. I usually only drink water so it is unusual for me to find something I enjoy!
Blair Villanueva says
These pictures scream “refreshing!”
Hope it’s also available here in Manila because I wanna taste it too!
Julz says
looks very refreshing on the pictures 🙂 and wow 12kcal is nothing – nice if you want a little taste and not always want to drink water!!
Anosa says
Exactly, I am all for drinking water but never been a fan of the taste unless it’s flavoured.
