Sparkling Ice’s Winter Variety Pack
Sparkling Ice has just released its Winter Variety Pack with four flavors including Winter Punch, Apple Cider, Cranberry Frost, and Ginger Lime. The combination offers a mix of familiar winter flavors and brighter fruit notes.
Cranberry Frost brings a tart berry flavor to the party. Cranberry is a holiday favorite for good reason and it makes sense in a winter drink lineup. Its sharp, fruity taste should appeal to people who want something less candy-like than a typical sweet soda.
Apple Cider is a natural fit for winter. It brings apples to mind and offers a fruity option for people who enjoy seasonal flavors but aren’t in the mood for another peppermint drink.
Then there’s Ginger Lime, the flavor that makes the current official lineup stand out from the Sparkling Ice Winter LTO Variety Pack. It sounds like a refreshing change from the sweeter options, although shoppers who prefer dessert-like flavors might not find it as tempting as Sugar Plum.
The variety pack comes with 12 bottles, each holding 17 fluid ounces. According to Sparkling Ice, each bottle contains five calories, zero sugar, and zero carbohydrates. The drinks are also caffeine-free, making them an option for anyone who wants a fizzy afternoon drink without the caffeine.
Sugar Plum Fans Might Have A Bone To Pick
Fans of Sparkling Ice seasonal packs will immediately notice that Sugar Plum is missing. But it hasn’t disappeared from every retailer’s version of the winter pack.
Meijer’s product listing features Sugar Plum, Apple Cider, Cranberry Frost, and Winter Punch. But Sparkling Ice’s official website, however, lists Ginger Lime in place of Sugar Plum in this Holiday Variety Pack.
So, I guess the question on your mind is: Is Ginger Lime a better fit for winter than Sugar Plum? I think both flavors bring something different to the table. Sugar Plum sounds like a drink made for the holidays, with a name that fits right in alongside Christmas cookies and festive desserts. Ginger Lime has a fresher feel, offering a citrusy option for people who don’t want every winter drink to taste sweet.
