Arizona Iced Tea is known for its low-cost thirst quenchers and the brand is now introducing a new Arizona sparkling water product line that taps into the current popularity of seltzers. The newly introduced Santa Fé beverages are offered in varieties like Arnold Palmer, Orange Mango and Pink Grapefruit, which are made with simple ingredients like botanical extracts, real fruit juice or in the case of Raspberry Lime, real berry puree for natural sweetness.
While Arizona Iced Tea comes in at about 34 grams of sugar per bottle, the new sparkling water options boast just one gram of sugar per can—if at all—which makes them a much healthier choice to reach for.
