Low calorie tasty sparkling water
I am generally not a fan of sparkling water and often cannot drink them if they contain HFCS, which I have an intolerance of. But this product is made with real sugar and 1 can is only 10 calories, which is awesome. I purchased the black cherry dragon fruit and the flavor is excellent. It is a stronger and more pleasant flavor then I have previously experienced with sparkling water. The only things I don't love about it is I get a hint of a salty taste. Note that the product says it is low sodium and contains 35mg, so maybe that is just me! I also don't love how highly carbonated it is... I let it rest for a bit before drinking so I won't be full of gas. Overall though, an excellent low calorie drink that just may convert me to being a sparkling water fan!

Aquafina Sparkling Water
I got the Black Cherry Dragonfruit. I love the Black Cherry ICE Sparkling water. I love the Black Cherry local Meijer Sparkling water. I love the Black Cherry local Spartan Sparkling water. I expected to love the Black Cherry Dragonfruit Aquafina Sparkling Water. I did not! It was very bitter and sour. I don't know if the cherries were sour, which they can be. I don't know if the dragonfruit, which I have never had before, was what was sour. I thought maybe it was what I had eaten prior to drinking the Aquafina Sparkling Water, so I tried it again the next day, and I still hated it. I hate to waste food, but I poured it down the toilet. Also a disappointment was the fact that I could not find a single can anywhere; I had to buy an 8 pack. So I ended up giving the remaining 7 cans away. I have not heard if the recipients liked it or not.

Aquafina Sparkling Water has a fresh taste
I tried the Aquafina Sparkling Water and it actually tasted much better than I expected. It has a fresh taste and and tickles your mouth. I enjoyed the flavor even though I don't drink soda, it helped to soothe my upset stomach. I will purchase this product again!

Great taste at a great price!
A lovely flavor with lots of bubbles . . . this is how my daughter described our taste test with Aquafina Sparkling Water. It's a perfect balance . . . not too strong on the flavor but not too weak either. Great product I will continue to purchase!

Attractive looking
The water had good carbonation and tasted just right. It was refreshing. I would mix it with juice and it tasted good.

Aquafina is Fine!
Unsweetened bubbly water is an easy choice to make in terms of keeping added sugar out of your system!

Tasted good and was refreshing
I was a bit taken aback at first because I was expecting a sweet beverage like a soda. I'm not sure why since I knew it was a sparkling water. But, once I took a second sip I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. I'm gonna have to buy some more of these to have around to replace my regular sodas because I want to reduce my cola intake and I think this will be a good substitute for the carbonated sodas I like.

Aquafina sparkling is pretty good
This product is crisp and refreshing and not too sweet; it is more satisfying than regular sugary sodas. While I much prefer a different brand of fruity sparkling water, this kind is just fine. I tried both the dragon fruit and the lemon lime; enjoyed the dragon fruit much more than the other. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys carbonated drinks but can't stand the over sugared taste of regular soda.

Great flavor
I really like that this Aquafina Sparkling Water has a really nice taste and flavor. It has just the right amount of bubbles

As good as the rest
I thought this tasted okay. It was slightly sweeter than other sparkling waters. I wish it came in more than single packaging.
Verified member
Slimline cans are nice.
I drink a lot of seltzer style water, usually spring water based. This product is more expensive than most, so I probably will not buy it in the future. It does have really nice packaging however.

Really love the black cherry dragonfruit!
I really love the black cherry dragonfruit flavor. I wasn't sure what to expect with the dragonfruit, but it was really yummy!

Great taste, low cal
I grabbed a can of the Aquafina to quench my thirst on the ride home from the store after buying the product. I was expecting a sour product, since it's labeled sparkling water, but was pleasantly surprised with the slight sweetness, bold flavor (I chose lime) and light bubbles. When I got home I read the ingredients and saw there was a tiny amount of natural sweetener, with minimal calories. This is my new go to beverage!

Refreshing Drink
Normally I don't like the taste of grapefruit, but there was only orange and grapefruit flavored Aquafina on the Target shelves. To my surprise, there's only a slight hint of grapefruit. The citrus taste comes through better and the slight hint of grapefruit provides the balance to the drink. I found the Aquafina drink to be refreshing and very enjoyable.
Verified member
Natural and good
This is refreshing and thirst quenching. It's all natural, no artificial sweeteners and still only has 10 calories. It has a nice fizzy bite. I would be happy to drink this again.

Convenient packaging and nice flavor choices
I'm not a big drinker of sparkling water...they always seems a bit bitter to me, but I did like the grapefruit flavor of this product. The packaging is also a convenient size and they have a nice selection of flavors to choose from.

Great drink for whenever!
I found that this drink was really great for any time. I chose lemon-lime and I really liked the way this went with my lunch. Not overpowering, not too strong, and quite tasty. I felt good that I wasn't drinking an overly sugared drink.

Tastes good
Good flavor for a sparkling beverage. I think I would try the other flavors to see if they are as tasty.

Great mixer
Aquafina was great as a mixer with just a hint of flavor. The portion was perfect as well with no waste
Verified member
It's OK, but not too great
The flavour was good. I tried the black cherry dragonfruit. I don't normally drink sparkling water and found it to be pretty weak overall. But it's only 10 calories so there's that. Not sure if I would buy it again.
Verified member
Not really tasty
They should've just left the sugar out of the sparkling water. It didn't help at all. The taste was "off."
Verified member
Sparkling water -light taste
Aquafina Sparkling black cherry dragonfruit had a good flavor. It only had hints of the flavor so it is basically a lightly flavored sparkling water.
Verified member
practical
I actually drink some form of sparkling water at least once a day - mostly it's perrier but club soda or other items like la croix I like. I liked this a little bit however I found that the taste was a little too strong, maybe too sweet. I don't think that I'd buy it again.
Verified member
Does the job but not that exciting
Maybe it's because I picked a flavor that I didn't like very much, but I was disappointed with this drink. It doesn't taste very citrus like and could really use more flavor. At least it's water and does a good job of quenching thirst. Can design is pretty cool.
Verified member
not a whole lot of flavor
I was hoping to find a single can of the Aquafina Sparkling flavored water beverage to try, but my local Wal-mart only carried 4 count packs. I have not seen single packs anywhere. I did see there were supposed to be I believe 4 flavors as well but my local ony had 2. I purchased Black Cherry DragonFruit Aquafina Sparkling, hoping it would be great tasting. sadly it was not. It has really not flavor at all. The can is a nice size can and has great colors and designs making it a fun way to market the beverage. It states that it has tiny bubbles in the sparkling water, to me that meant it was a bit fizzy, but it didn't taste fizzy at all. to me it just tasted like flat water with a weird after taste. I was dissappointed in the product which sadden me as I really had high hopes for the Sparkling water and I really wanted to like it

Ok, but not as good as Lacroix.
This is comparable to, but not as good as, Lacroix. This has less flavor than Lacroix, and the level of carbonation is lower. It is much harder to find, has fewer flavors, and is more expensive.
Verified member
Not good flavored water
I did not like the flavor ... Black cherry and dragon fruit... The carbonation was OK, but because of the flavor I did not even finished the whole drink.
Verified member
Great taste, kind of expensive
After searching several different stores to find the Aquafina sparkling water I finally located it and found that it was a bit more expensive than I would have liked but gave it a try anyways. I found that the beverage was refreshing and had a wonderful flavor to it. I also found that it didn't leave a funny aftertaste like some other brands do.

Great tasting, refreshing drink
Refreshing, great flavor, light tasting. A good beverage choice. Love only 10 calories. I like the sparkling.
Verified member
Great low sweetened sparkling water
It is mildly flavored sparkling water with just a hint of sweetness with only 10 calories. It is not highly carbonated like other carbonated sparkling water but it works for me. You get all of the great carbonation without sugarly and sticky soda. It tastes super refreshing. I will definitely buy it again.
Verified member
Tart water
I tried the lemon lime flavor of Aquafina sparkling water. I was surprised to see that it had sugar, as most waters do not. Even with the added sweetener, this water was pretty tart. It wasn't my favorite, but I'd maybe like another flavor better.

Refreshing
I could not wait longer and consumed it right after I bought it. It really refreshed myself after a long day.

Puts you in a good mood
I love the attractive packaging and the hint of flavor. I choose Black Cherry Dragon fruit. It is very tasty compared to other sparkling water drinks. It's not overly powerful. I want to try the other flavors on my next shopping trip.

Nice Alternative to Soda
I have tried another shopper army item similar to this for a Bella water from Aldi and really liked it. I decided to give this a go since I am always on the hunt for an alternative to soda or tea. This water has no caffeine but does contain some sugar which threw me off because it doesn't taste like it. I purchased the Orange Grapefruit flavor and really like it. The bubbles are smaller and fizzier than other sparkling waters, and the flavor is unique to this brand. I do give it a down vote for the added sugar and sodium because it doesn't need it! If it was just water and natural flavoring I would buy it on a regular basis.

Refreshing and Light Drink
I tried this sparkling water not sure what to expect from the product. I was pleasantly surprised. The flavor was light and crisp, not overpowering as sometimes flavors can be. It was just the right amount of product in the container to be filling but not too much. I like the fact that it had flavor and it almost felt as though I was not even drinking water but a very light soda product. I would buy this again and plan to as I think it will be nice to drink when I do not want a soda but want the carbonation of a beverage
Verified member
Salty bubbles with little flavor
Sounds like it would really refreshing on a warmer day, it doesn't. Has too much of a salty bite to it. Carbonation is a nice balance with the water. The dragonfruit flavoring plays a very minor role in the overall package. Easy to carry around and offers a decent value.
Verified member
Refreshing, tasty sparkling water
I found the Aquafina Sparkling Water to be a very refreshing, tasty drink. I had the black cherry dragonfruit flavor. I liked the tall, skinny can; it made it very easy to hold onto; this product only has 2 grams of sugar and is low in sodium--35 mg; also is low in calories only containing 10 per 12 ounce can. This mixes well with vodka. It might be my new "go to" mix for mixed drinks. Can't wait to try the other flavors;

Bursting with flavor
This sparking water is really tasty. I only had one flavor to choose from at the store, but I have to say that it's delicious. I'm a huge sparkling water fan and I like them even better when they have infused flavors. This sparkling water did not disappoint. It had lots of bubbles which i like and lots of flavor, so it won me over. A good and healthy way to quench your thirst and get flavor at the same time.

I wish this product did not contain SUGAR!
I found that this is a refreshing and sweet alternative to sparkling waters already on the market. However, I could not get over the fact that the second ingredient is sugar, and I feel like there should not be added sugar in my water. This may be a unique alternative to give my kids instead of soda or fruit juice, since it is a small serving , and has only 3 grams of sugar.

Not a fan of sparkling water
This is the second time I have tried this type of product. It is obviously an aquired taste, like beer, coffee, etc. I drank it all to give it a try but do not want any more.

A trusted name in water....
I've been on the sparkling water kick for over a year now. There are a lot of contenders out there all battling for your stomach. Aquafina has been one of the few brands I keep in my honme regularly. As an added bonus to myself, I tend to add one of the many MIO flavors I have readily available to transform the flavor, add to it or just grin. I'd recommend Aquafina, not too harsh (Schwepps) or not too weak (Sparkling Ice). That's not a slam against those two specific brands but one is on the extreme side and the other barely registers, which leaves "just right".
Verified member
did not like the taste
The first few sips of this water were pleasant though slightly bitter as if some sugar would help. Then the flavor got stronger and the intensity was a turn-off. I was really disappointed but maybe a flavor other than cherry would be better.
Verified member
Delicious sparkling drink
This sparkling water beverage was great. I bought the orange grapefruit flavor which was spot on and delicious. It has the right amount of carbonation. My only complaint was the cost, paid a little more than I thought I would.
Verified member
The taste combination fell flat
I bought the black cherry dragonfruit flavor of Aquafina Sparkling and I was really excited to try the product. For me the flavor combination fell flat. The product left a bad after taste for me. I was also a little disappointed that sugar had been added to the product. I don't think it needs it and it just adds calories that are empty. I think it takes away from the refreshing quality of the product.

Refreshing and Light
Not super sweet, but present fruit flavors make for a refreshing and light easy going beverage. More sugar than some of its competitors (by virtue of having any) but still quite light.
Verified member
Good strong flavor!
I enjoyed the product but I missed the sharp clean taste that a flavored sparkling water has without the sugar. The tiny hint of sugar dulled down the clean finish, however it did intensify the orange grapefruit flavor.

Yuck-Yuck
The Aquafina Sparkling Water isn't for me! It was disgusting...really carbonated and no flavor. I do like the slender can that it comes in and appreciate the low calories.

Delicious and refreshing
This is a wonderful alternative to diet soda and plain old water. The black cherry fragrance and flavor were subtle but delicious. I really prefer carbonated drinks over plain water and this is a great way to drink more water!

I really like that there are no artificial sweeteners. I prefer La Croix slightly more but this one is a close second!

Not Quite What I Hoped For
I bought the Aquafina Sparkling Water because I love soda but I know that it really isn't a very healthy choice and I've tried other sparkling waters that have been very satisfying. Although I didn't totally dislike this, it wouldn't be a first choice with me. The amount of carbonation wasn't very strong and the flavor was also very light; admittedly, I tend to like beverages with a little more fizz and a little more taste to them. While this wasn't "bad", it wasn't quite what I was hoping for to truly satisfy me.
Verified member
Not my kind of Beverage
The Aquafina Sparkling Water wasn't my kind of beverage. I do like flavored sparkling water. This one was overly carbonated and had little to no flavor. It felt like I was drinking carbonated water.
Verified member
Not for Me!
I didn't like the taste of the Aquafina Sparkling Water. I would prefer a lot more taste in my sparkling water. The taste didn't get along with my taste buds. I also felt that this product is over carbonated too.
Verified member
I think this is my new favorite
I think this is my new favorite flavored sparkling water. It has a good taste but is not too sweet and is not bland either. It was very enjoyable to drink. Refreshing. It has more flavor then other sparkling waters I have tasted. I plan to buy more of this brand in other flavors.
Verified member
Tasty Sparkling Water!
I highly enjoyed Aquafina Black Cherry Dragonfruit. It isn't as carbonated as other sparkling waters, which I appreciated. Also, there is a lot of flavor for a water, which I enjoyed. It is a great beverage to consume on its own or as a mixer. I would highly recommend this product and look forward to trying the other flavors.

Better than expected
As a sparkling water, I was expecting this to taste just really awful. They added just enough flavor to make it tolerable.
Verified member
Tastes artificial
I found that despite on the label saying hint of real sugar this tastes a bit artificial to me. I liked the size although found it to be less bubbly and refreshing than hoped for.

Nice Refreshing Beverage
I bought two different flavors of the Aquafina Sparkling Water. I thought they were a nice change from regular water with a hint of flavor. My husband didn't think it was sweet enough but I did. I also like that it was very low in calories yet sweetened with sugar and not fake sweeteners.

Good Tasting
As far as sparkling water go this one was very good tasting. The lemon lime flavor tasted fresh not fake and was subtle and not overbearing. We would definitely add this to our beverage repertoire.

Good flavor
This has a good flavor but i don't care for sparkling water drinks especially at this price. I think there are bettet alternatives but as far as sparkling drinks go these are pretty good.
Verified member
No good flavor options
There weren't any good flavor options and i can see this catching on if they had more approachable flavors. The cherry dragonfruit just tasted like straight cherry. I chose this one because an orange grapefruit wouldn't be very good, especially the grapefruit portion and there are already a million lemon lime ones which made me choose one of the other flavors.

I found this product refreshing. The taste was fair I had the lemon lime. It could use a little more lemon.

Tastes and Refreshing
I had a previous hate-hate relationship with sparkling water, but when I saw the cans of Aquafina sparkling water on the shelf I decided to give it another go. Just looking at the cans made me excited to try what was on the inside. I bought the orange grapefruit sparkling water and I was not disappointed. The flavor was so fresh and the water was crisp. I genuinely felt satisfied and refreshed after quickly drinking the entire can. I have been sold on sparkling water. Thanks Aquafina!
