Anyone tried this new concept yet?

They're offering 8 cans for £8 delivered (normally an eye watering £20!).

Mine arrived really quickly, and we tried the elderflower and the apple versions last night. It's like drinking ever so chalky sparkling water, and the 4% alcohol in a small can really doesn't hit you hard. Very refreshing and enjoyable. Low calorie for booze too.

If they can bring the price down I can see this really taking off.

Vodka. Sparkling water. Fruit juice.

Am I missing something? At least with the above you can free pour and make it a quad, and worth drinking ! laugh

Almost (I think) - Vodka is of course ethanol and water, and they're making their own ethanol from the fruits they use (according to the can).

Do they do a still version?

Alcoholic water. Then i'd be tempted.

Urgh carbonated water.

Brewdog have just launched something similar. Maybe this is the next trend.

It’s been a thing in the US for a while, they call it hard seltzer.

Not tried it as I don’t drink anymore, I’d imagine a gin & tonic would be my preference for any situation where I’d think about having boozy fizzy water though.

Its everywhere here in the US, although the convenience over adding some flavored sparkling water to some vodka is a bit lost on me.

They do sneak up on you though, chugging a few on a hot day when floating in the pool will result in unplanned earth-bound trajectories.

Loved the lemon and mint, tasted like a mojito, nice and refreshing, although I added a shot of vodka to mine, wife added a raspberry gin to hers both worked. Ordered another 12 of each flavour while the 50% off code is working.
