I swear my dad's bloodstream has been replaced by Grape Raspberry Sparkling Ice.

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2017

I don't drink this myself, I buy it for my dad who I swear would drink it by the gallon if offered. He is diabetic and we have been trying to get him off of diet soda for a long time, this is better for him.

I have no complaints about the product, I do wish amazon would do a better job keeping this flavor in stock, this is his favorite flavor and nearly impossible to find. I want to do a subscribe and save on it, hopefully amazon can get that going.

Artificial Sweetener Alert!

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2018

I used to drink these Sparkling Ice waters in all flavors every day. They all taste GREAT, my favorite was Black Raspberry. However, I just discovered that they contain sucralose which is just another harmful artificial sweetener. The only safe sweeteners are Stevia, Agave, and Raw Honey. I have stopped drinking/eating anything with harmful artificial sweeteners since they have been linked to many diseases, including dementia and the increase in Atzheimers disease patients.

UPDATE: Used to be a great product, now it’s just overpriced diet soda. Where’s the juice?!

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2017

Flavor Name: Crisp AppleVerified Purchase

Update March 2019: I have been a regular subscriber of 3 cases a month of Sparkling Ice for a few years. I LOVED the stuff. It was plenty diabetic/keto-friendly with its 3% real juice and it tasted not merelt great, but REALISTIC. Then, sometime in the last year or so, I just stopped wanting to drink it as much. The flavor was no longer exciting. The mock mulled cider I made with it this Christmas fell flat. I thought I’d just lost my taste for it until I saw that another reviewer had noticed that the juice content went from 3% to 1%. I looked at my bottles and all the flavors indeed now say 1% juice.

The company said it was to conform to its zero-sugar claim but I don’t believe it - 3% of 179mL (one serving) would be about 5g of juice, which would contain about half a gram of sugar, which can legally be labeled as 0 grams. They could have replaced the aromatics and maintained the flavor but that would probably have been more expensive than just using real juice.

Now these drinks taste about the same as any other diet soda. The flavors are now flat instead of complex and realistic like they used to be.

I AM CANCELLING MY SUBSCRIPTION FOR ALL THREE CASES PER MONTH. ARE YOU LISTENING, TALKING RAIN INC?

I also intend to complain to Amazon about allowing Sparkling Ice to keep its past high ratings for what is no longer the same product. It is very misleading if reviews don’t all refer to the same thing being reviewed.

Old review: Crisp Apple Sparkling Ice tastes almost exactly like Martinelli's sparkling cider

Being on a carb-restricted diet, one of the things I miss most is the taste of fruit, and especially the intense flavor of fruit juices. To my palate (accustomed as it is to most artificial sweeteners), Crisp Apple Sparkling Ice tastes almost exactly like Martinelli's sparkling cider.

Crisp Apple, Coconut Pineapple, and Pink Grapefruit are in my opinion, the most realistic flavors of Sparkling Ice.

At $1 a bottle, it's not quite cheap but it is an affordable treat.

Update: at Christmastime, I used Crisp Apple as a base for zero-carb mulled “cider.” Lacking proper mulling spices, a Constant Comment tea bag with its cinnamon/orange peel/clove flavoring did the trick nicely. A touch of malic acid restored the tanginess lost from heating the fizz (carbonic acid) out of it.

Great, crisp, dry apple flavor. Terrific product.

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2020

Flavor Name: Crisp AppleVerified Purchase

I am crazy about this product. The flavor is genuine, not sweet, crisp and refreshing. I tend to drink primarily flavored seltzers with no sugar or sweetener, but this makes a nice change. It’s a very high-quality product. It is flavored with sucralose which is somewhere in the middle in terms of artificial sweetener pros and cons. If you are looking for a way to increase your fluid intake, I’m not sure if this really counts as “water“, as it claims to be, and it certainly isn’t as good for you as Seltzer, but you could do a lot worse. I’m very fond of this flavor. In general, the whole product line is fairly high quality in terms of their flavors. I don’t care for some of them, but none taste particularly artificial, which is my main complaint with this kind of product. Try the ginger lime also, if you’re looking.

NICE BOTTLES WITH AWESOME STAINLESS STEEL LIDS

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2021

Flavor Name: Crisp AppleVerified Purchase

love these bottles! I brew my own kombucha at home and these are perfect! I am going to have to order more because 10 years after starting kombucha, I have finally decided to experiment with adding flavors like ginger and pineapple which will mean additional time before I can drink them so I think 12 more bottles are in my immediate future! 18 oz. sturdy glass bottle, airtight and leak proof o-ring seal -- which is a must with kombucha -- and a cleaning brush; you cannot go wrong! I hand wash my bottles and caps with vinegar and water only because I use them for kombucha and I don't want any chemical cleaners in them. The o-ring in the cap can be removed for cleaning, too. Oh, and the cherry on top -- BPA free! I must not forget the added bonus to all of that, the seller delivered as promised!

Please note, I was not paid for this review, I am not affiliated nor related to anyone... I just know that I have searched for years for the best of the best for my kombucha brew and I finally found it!!!

A Keto gal's Fall favorite!!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2020

Flavor Name: Crisp AppleVerified Purchase

I love this beverage!! The apple flavoring is the closest to actual apples that I've come across in any product and for me, being Ketogenic, apples are no longer in my pantry. I like that it's sweetened with sucralose rather than aspartame and that it doesn't have acesulfame potassium in it. It's great cold or hot with a little cinnamon, and it definitely hits the spot!! I was also excited to find it here and in this quantity because this particular flavor isn't readily available in my area; thank you, Amazon!!!

Delicious Apple taste without the sugar! Package arrived on schedule & in perfect condition.

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2019

Flavor Name: Crisp AppleVerified Purchase

This crisp apple is great! I used to be able to buy it in my local grocery store. For whatever reason, it is no longer available for retail purchase in any of the grocery chains near me (ACME, Giant, Wegmans, Landis, Weis). I love this stuff! It has a delicious clean apple taste., without the sugar of apple juice or apple cider. I particularly like this as a base for a cinnamon whiskey cocktail. Low carb, doesn't spike my blood sugar.
I'd prefer to buy locally as needed, but at least the free shipping makes it reasonable to order.

THE BEST THE BEST AMAZING

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2020

Flavor Name: Crisp AppleVerified Purchase

Truly this is like opening a can of frozen apple juice, absolutely AMAZING. In my opinion though it has to be really cold to be good. This line of drinks is awesome but this one is my favorite. Good price and sooooo enjoyable. You must try this if your like apple juice. Even though the price is good but maybe you don't want to buy a whole case til u know it's good, go to the store and buy one, you won't be disappointed...For the price of a case, Amazon has the best that I have found.

Great low-calorie apple drink!

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2019

Flavor Name: Crisp AppleVerified Purchase

Great low-calorie carbonated apple drink. This tastes just like apple juice or apple cider!!! Most "apple" drinks taste like green apple Jolly Ranchers. I can't handle that. This apple drink, on the other hand, tastes great! Fanta makes a good apple soda, but it's hard to find and they don't make a diet version. I recommend this for anyone who enjoys apple products, but don't want the added sugar or calories.

Refreshing carbonated drink with no sugar

I love this Crisp Apple drink. I use it to take my medications in the morning rather than water since it tastes so much better. Was disappointed however when I tried to repurchase and found the cost had increased substantially (almost triple).

Too bad this flavor is no longer being made by this beverage company.

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2021

Flavor Name: Crisp AppleVerified Purchase

I loved Crisp Apple sparkling ICE. Best flavor they have. Refreshing & not weird tasting as many of their other flavors are. I called the company & asked why crisp apple was no longer being made. They said it was not popular but at the major grocery chains where I shop, crisp apple was the flavor that was always sold out.
