San Pellegrino Essenza Sparkling Water Lightly Flavoured Cherry & Pomegranate 12x330ml

To start with straight off the bat; this drink is not sweet and contains no sugar or sweetener. All you are getting is the flavour of dark morello cherries, a hint of pomegranate and a nice fizz that is not so OTT that you’re pulling faces at your confused wife sitting across from you after one sip. If you’re used to sipping on a sweeter bev like me, then it will definitely be a surprise to you for the first few mouthfuls. But after finishing one 330ml can, I was pleasantly surprised at how refreshing this was. San Pellegrino has always been a favourite of mine, across many different flavours and I will be more than happy to keep these in stock at home. Due to the lack of sweetness; I can see why this would put some people off who are used to their other lines. But if you’re a fan of sparkling water and more natural tasting drinks without the chemicals, or just in need of something different, then give them a go. They may just catch you off guard and tickle your taste buds. Prime delivery was a doddle and they arrived in great condition; no damaged cans and the other items in the box were also fine.

I've always been a huge fan of S.Pellegrino and their products, so I was really excited to see the new Essena range and the Dark Morello Cherry & Pomegranate is my close second favourite flavour. In essence, the new range is all about combing natural mineral water to quench your thirst, carbon dioxide for the fizz and natural fruit flavourings for the taste in one simple, delicious and healthy drink which S.Pellegrino has managed to do beautifully. The drink has a lovely subtle fruit smell and flavour, with a good amount of fizz while having just two calories in a whole can, with no added sugars or sweeteners, something that could not have been easy to achieve. It's a great alternative to normal fizzy drinks which are usually filled with chemicals, sugar and sweeteners, giving you delicious fruity flavour and fizz that's much more fun than drinking pure water al the time. Greatly recommended for anyone and everyone, you won't be disappointed no matter which flavour you try first.

I do like beverages that not sweet but this one was even a little bitter. After a couple of cans it was not that bad anymore and I sort of got used to it. So all in all, it is quite nice and I would buy it again.

They're reasonably priced and great for anyone watching the calories. But they lack flavour! Tastes like fizzy mineral water so they're not my thing!

Lovely subtle cherry flavour, just what i was hoping for. I,m trying to be healthier (even given up wine😇)and know i should drink more water but i just don't like the taste. Everyone tells me i'm weird but it doesn't matter whether tap, mineral, spring , sparkling or still water i just do not like it 😝. So am trying various no calorie flavoured waters and this is definitely one of the best. Also as a diabetic its great as no sugars or sweeteners unlike low calorie or zero soft drinks. I have several other flavours to try so will be stocking the fridge to the top and will be a regular order for me from now on

These cans were on offer and as a fan of the other fruity drinks such as orange etc, I thought I’d give them a try as cherry and pomegranate are usually pretty naturally sweet and I liked the calorie-free idea but still having a posh drink of something fizzy. Well, I didn’t enjoy them at all and found the one can I actually opened to be bitter and almost alcoholic in flavour. No sweetness at all, either artificial or natural. I’ve had sweeter, more rounded tap water. I think if you’re an avid fan of plain sparkling water, you may like the taste but unfortunately I couldn’t discern anything I liked in this drink. Too austere for my childish tastebuds!

Took me ages to find this product as it had sold out in shops near me. Best flavour ever! Was on offer when I ordered which meant I got 12 cans for £6, really pleased with the deal

I love the taste, A bit pricey
