Sparkling and soda waters are a common go-to for mixers when it comes alcohol and low carb living. They have ZERO carbs and nothing added, just BUBBLES! However, I love that there is a flavoured sparkling water range, as sometimes you just need a little flavour without the sugar.
With the increase in flavoured sparkling waters in the supermarkets, we thought we would look at the what ones were available.
