spindrift Sparkling Orange Mango Soda

It has become a habit or a routine to grab something to drink whenever I go grocery shopping. This weekend I was at Berkeley Bowl and the spindrift sparkling soda grabbed my attention. Actually anything with sedimentation always grab my attention, but this one in a good way. After reading the label and knowing that what's at the bottom is actually mango puree, I decided to give it a try. 

This beverage has no added flavors meaning that its flavor comes from the mango puree and orange juice that was added. And this vivid yellow color is colored by fresh fruit juice instead of artificial coloring, which they probably added a lot that's why it's so bright to compensate for the color fade that is prone to happen under light and heat. 

What I love about this drink:

• Love the fresh alfonso mango taste
• Love that it's refreshing 
• Love that it's a right balance of sweet so it's not cloying
• Love the flavor combination

What I don't like about this drink:

• Orange taste is weak, I would love to taste a bit more of it
• It was pricy! $2.99 for a 355ml bottle.

Cheers,

Koh Coconut Water

I enjoy drinking coconut water, it's refreshing and it's relatively healthier than juices. Zico has to be my favorite coconut water brand after trying so many different ones on the market ( my least liked has to be VitaCoco). So we have been buying our coconut water from Costco mainly because they have it there and it's cheaper than the supermarket, but Zico is not always avaliable at the store. Well it is online but they are sold per PALLET! Yes you saw it right!

So recently Koh coconut water is on sale at Costco. We were skeptical to try because some coconut water taste very acidic, cooked, and tasted nothing like a fresh coconut with clean, naturally sweet taste. But we decided to give it a try and to our surprised it tastes as good, if not better, as Zico. It was so good that we bought 4 boxes of 6. Lol.

What I love about this drink:

• It's taste like I'm drinking it out from a coconut
• It's not from concentrate
• Inexpensive (because it was on sale @Costco)

What I don't like about this drink:

• Nothing really!! I love this drink!

Cheers,
