Back in January, famous podcaster person Alex Cooper launched Unwell Hydration, a line of hydration drinks in three flavors: Strawberry, Mango Citrus, and Orange Hibiscus. We taste tested and liked them all. The flavors are mild without being quite as whispery as most fruit-flavored sparkling water, they’re lightly sweetened with both cane sugar and stevia, and they’re the rare hydration drinks that include caffeine (a 75 mg dose from green coffee extract) to give you a little boost without giving you jitters. And there’s already a new Unwell drink to try: Unwell Kiwi Pineapple.
I genuinely like these drinks. I like the mild flavor profiles. What makes one Unwell flavor better than the other Unwell flavors? Well, I think it comes down to personal preference, how well or unwell the flavor would make you feel after a night of being rude to your body, and, lastly, how well the flavor works with the stevia, which does have a little bit of an aftertaste.

Pros: If you, like me, are susceptible to the positive mental effects of drinking a mildly sweet, vaguely salty, non carbonated hydration drink (i.e. that feeling you’re doing something good for yourself whether or you are), you’ll like this Unwell drink. It has electrolytes and three B-complex vitamins, and the Kiwi Pineapple flavor profile is really well suited to the experience. It’s a little bit tart and tangy, but in a way that I think goes nicely with the subtle salinity of the electrolytes. The flavor of stevia does linger just a little bit on the finish, but all in all it’s nice. It reminds me of pineapple Haribo gummy bears. It’s tropical, refreshing, and I think it’s my personal favorite Unwell flavor yet.
Cons: If you’re super sensitive to the flavor of stevia (some people really hate it!), you may not like this. Likewise, this new Unwell drink might not hit the spot if you prefer hydration drinks with bold flavors—this isn’t going to hit like a Powerade hits, if that’s what you’re used to.
