Caffeinated Carbonated Water

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sparkling Ice +Caffeine is a Fizzing, No-Sugar, Zero-Calorie Drink

— October 9, 2018 — Lifestyle
Sparkling Ice +Caffeine is the first-ever caffeinated carbonated water product from Sparkling Ice and it can be seen at the 2018 National Association of Convenience Stores Show in the Cool New Products Showcase.

The Sparkling Ice +Caffeine products are offered in fruity flavors like Blue Raspberry and Orange Passionfruit that come in 16-ounce cans with zero sugar and zero calories. The cans contain 70 milligrams of caffeine, as well as antioxidants and vitamins, which makes them a refreshing alternative to brewed coffee or espresso-based beverages.

Over the last few years, sparkling water sales have spiked, especially as many consumers are seeking out better-for-you alternatives to soda that are free from calories, sweeteners and artificial ingredients. As such, many creative new hybrid sparkling beverages are being offered to share the benefits of different kinds of drinks in a familiar format.
