have you tried the new ginger-flavored seltzer they have? I'm curious about it but they don't have smaller bottles and I don't want to commit to a 12-pack in case it's gross

It's decent, it's got an expected gingery taste but it doesn't have an actual ginger bite if that's what you're looking for.

gently caress, that reminds me of the greatest bottled drinks ever made (RIP)



I miss those, they were genuinely spicy and amazing :(

I don't think you're supposed to put the whole bottle in.

Also to everyone who thinks seltzer doesn't have any taste, sorry your taste buds died. La Croix is a solid national brand, Polar is very good, and Klarbrunn is a solid option with a ton of flavour options here in Wisconsin. Wasn't a fan of Spindrift though.

I love flavored seltzers but LaCroix is awful.

la croix is really hit or miss depending on the flavor

the mixed berry one i think it is tastes like trash

coconut, grapefruit, & peach pear are delicious

spindrift is good but i dont think its good enough to warrant the price. honestly i really enjoy the kroger/giant eagle name brands. carbonation is strong, and when its cold you dont really taste much. i like cherry flavors and lime/lemons. other flavors are terrible
theres a seltzer that tastes like dr. pepper and i like that one but not the cola/root beer one. low key addicted to fizzy water

Spindrift is the most "natural" tasting of them all IMO (probably because there's actually a bit of fruit juice in them). The cucumber one is really, really good on a hot day.

My stomach lining will probably be dissolved entirely by age 40 because of this, but my favorite drink is a 1-liter bottle of unflavored seltzer, take a good swig out of it and then fill it back all the way to the top with straight lemon juice.

If the first sip doesn't literally make my mouth pucker, add more lemon juice.

I used to drink soda, but since I've switched to seltzer most soda tastes absurdly sweet to me. Maybe once a month I'll get a small coke with lunch, and if it's cold and filled with ice it's delicious for the first maybe 6 ounces and then it just becomes too sugary for me.

and this isn't a goony "sugar is for children" post because I'll eat the gently caress out of some candy

Oh it’s absolutely a defence mechanism because they’re embarrassed at being addicted to sugar.

I love weird seltzer flavours but I live in Canada which is notorious for not carrying more than a few flavours of anything ever (citrus fruits and then one other “weird” flavour, usually), so I have to do seltzer runs to the States for anything more exciting than coconut La Croix (which is my favourite).

Blueberry lemonade Polar is ridiculously delicious and I am extremely envious of Americans for having access to it all the time!

I dunno if you have a Wegmans but they have some pretty bitching seltzers, and introduce new flavors quite often.

Spindrift is absolutely the best one bar none since it just uses a little real juice to flavor it, no essense bullshit like trash LaCroix

Hell yeah brother

e: as a bonus the one that opened by me has an absolutely massive beer selection, and they must have a huge budget because they've got a larger variety of in-state brewed (and not cheap) beers than I've seen literally anywhere else in the state.

is not a sandwich

I haven’t been a soda drinker in almost a year now and drink regular water and unsweetened tea just fine. It’s not an issue of it being “not sweet enough” so much as i haven’t yet had seltzer that didn’t make me immediately dump it out and replace it with regular water.

It's not seltzer if it uses any real juice at all.

They sell it in the 1-liter bottles and canned 12-packs; I think it used to be seasonal but worked it's way into the main rotation.

Does Polar distribute nationally now? Back in the day it was almost exclusively a New England thing, you could find it in some stores in NY/NJ.

A rare miss they're having now are those teeny tiny cans they're doing. "Quirky" flavor names and no actual description of what they are (but they mostly just taste like artificial candy flavors)

Aldi sells a pretty big bottle of various flavored seltzer waters for 69 cents a bottle, sometimes 59 on sale. The citrus flavored ones are pretty great.

Hi OP
I don't know what you've tried but I enjoy the Bubly flavors "cherry" and "green apple." They seem to have more flavor than others imho. But I am not picky and have been known to toss back a few La Croix's in my time.

Have you tried those mio drink enhancer things?

It really doesn't even save you that much money (if any at all) considering you still have to buy CO2 canisters.

That sodastream thing sucks dogshit. I had one and always made a huge mess, and the resulting drink was like if you opened a can of pepsi and let it sit out for 2 hours. One time I also cut myself, somehow.
