There are several ways to sip refreshing beverages from Sparkling Ice, including by the bottle or can, and Sparkling Ice collaborated with produce brand Cuties on a pair of limited-time, citrus-forward flavors in 7.5 oz. mini-cans. The freshly released Mandarin and Orange Cream flavored sparkling water varieties boast zero sugar, plus added benefits from vitamins and antioxidants.
Across the beverage industry, mini-cans are on the rise as people gravitate toward their convenient, portion-controlled format that fits effortlessly into busy lifestyles, activities and modern snacking habits. These scaled-down cans are even more portable than the brand's classic 16-ounce cans, but promise to deliver just as much refreshment despite their compact nature.
Sparkling Ice Cuties are coming to nationwide retailers in 10-packs as of next month.
