Sunshine Sparkling Pomegranate Acai
Caffeinated Le Croix that tastes vaguely fruity.
Overall Score
/10
Introduction
Time to review my second Sunshine, which in theory are right up my alley, combining my two favorite things - energy drinks and seltzers! The last one I reviewed was Clementine Twist, and I was a fan, so the expectations are real. Pomegranate Acai seems like it would be a good mix.
Taste
2.1
I remember the Clementine Twist having a stronger flavor profile than this. The pomegranate and acai tastes are so diluted that I'm having trouble picking them up individually. It just tastes like a vaguely fruity, carbonated water. More like a caffeinated Le Croix.
Appearance
6
Can is cool. It's not going to catch your eye on the energy drink shelf, but it might stand out on the water shelf. And if you look closer, it's a neat intricate design. Above average so a 6 from me here.
Kick
3
Only 70mg of caffeine so don't expect a massive kick. I like it as a coffee/tea substitute.
Conclusion
Overall, I can only recommend this drink if you're looking for a really light taste and a low level of caffeine. If you're interested in caffeinated water-based beverages, I'd lead you to the traditional Celsius line which is more flavorful and has an excellent level of caffeine.
