Hallelujah! Spiked Sparkling Waters!

For those who want to have a beverage that contains alcohol but zero carbs (or close to it), the beverage companies are finally listening!

The only drawback I see to this category of beverage is you have to remember you’re not just drinking water! You have to sip it; not guzzle it.

The category is called Spiked Sparkling Waters.

I have found five so far, all thanks to Dieter Hannah and her mother. Hannah tipped me off to a beverage her mother found that she thought just might work as Hannah transitioned in Plan Z from losing weight to learning how to maintain her weight forever. Hannah has a smart mom.

 

Brand names include: Truly, Smirnoff Spiked Sparking, Sauza Agua Fuerte, White Claw Hard Seltzer and Henry’s Hard Sparking.

I have tried two so far. I liked them.

One of the awesome things about these offerings is the beverage companies are stepping outside the normal lemon, lime and orange offerings. They are mixing up some interesting, more exotic, combinations including things like grapefruit/pomelo, black raspberry, mango, pomegranate and wild berry. Some are offering variety packs too. Can you say, “Healthy Party?”
