It has been so incredibly hot for the last couple of weeks that settling down at the end of the day, watching the sun set with a glass of something chilled in hand, has become the perfect way to wind down. This was the ideal time to try out the selection of drinks that the Island Bay team had kindly sent over to us - three fabulously fruity flavours of Hard Seltzer that myself and Sophie have been happily putting through their paces !
Now, I have to admit, I was a little bit intrigued by the concept of the drink. On the cans, it says "alcoholic sparkling water", which sounded too good to be true, so I went to investigate. On their website, they explain : "Alcohol. Water. Flavour. Fizz.
A deliciously refreshing alcoholic sparkling water with hints of natural fruit flavour, the perfect alternative to your usual calorific drink!
If you’re anything like us, you’ll love this guilt-free alcohol drink that comes fully loaded with no added compromise. At 70 calories, no preservatives, no artificial sweeteners, certified gluten free and suitable for vegans, Island Bay Hard Seltzer ticks all the boxes!" This just keeps on getting better and better - it's even suitable for those on a keto diet !
However, the most important thing would be the flavour. Would we be impressed or would it be a bit of a let-down? Well, we both loved all three flavours. My favourite was Strawberry, which has a refreshing, sweet, fruity flavour. Sophie loved the tropical flavour of Mango and we both also approved of the refreshing Watermelon variant. They can all be enjoyed straight from the can or you might like to serve them in a glass, adding chunks and slices of fresh fruit for some extra flamboyance !
You can buy the drinks over on the Drink Island Bay website with free delivery. You can order one flavour or a mix of all three and they cost £14.95 for six, £25.95 for 12 or £49.95 for 24. Keep your eyes open at the top of the page for a "Subscribe and save 20% banner" !
Disclosure : We received some samples of the drink.
Ohh! I do like the sound of these especially with the warm weather we've been having. What a lovely treat. x
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic, especially for summer, though I obviously need to get out more as I had to look up the definition of a hard seltzer.
