Real Review: Izze Sparkling Juice

{photo by me}

Hello lovelies!  Yesterday my daughter and I decided to try some Izze sparkling juice for the first time (we got the blackberry flavor).  One sip and I became an instant fan (my daughter was a little tougher to convince - I think she might be a little too accustomed to the syrupy sweetness of soda).  Since Izze is made from natural ingredients and sparkling water the drinking experience is refreshing and light as apposed to the sticky heaviness of most carbonated beverages.  The packaging is another plus, as it feels both refined and fun...I think they'd make a great addition to any outdoor party (maybe even a wedding reception)!

Some of my friends over on flickr have recommended flavors such as Clementine, Pomegranate, and Grapefruit so I'll definitely be giving those a try soon.  Have you tried Izze before?  If so (and if you liked it) what are your favorite flavors?  This holiday weekend seems like the perfect time to have a little taste testing fun, don't you think!

I'm not sure what Izze's international distribution is like, but here in Oklahoma we picked up ours from the local Whole Foods market (I've also seen Izze at Target and other grocery stores as well).  Have a sweet weekend!  xo Ez
