True Citrus Black Cherry Limeade Drink Mix, 1.06 OZ

Great Flavor That Makes Drinking Water a Lot More InterestingI’ve tried quite a few water enhancer packets over the years, and this one ended up being a pleasant surprise. If you’re someone who wants to drink more water but gets bored with plain water, these little packets are an easy way to add some flavor without loading up on sugar or artificial ingredients.The flavor here is a black cherry limeade, which is an interesting combination. The cherry gives it a smooth fruity sweetness while the lime adds a bit of brightness and tartness so it doesn’t taste flat. When mixed with the recommended amount of water (about 16 oz), the balance is pretty refreshing. I’ve also found it works well in larger bottles — I often mix one packet into a 24–32 oz water bottle when I want something lighter.One thing I appreciate is that the ingredient list is relatively simple compared to many drink mixes. It uses real lime oils and juice along with stevia for sweetness, and it avoids artificial sweeteners like sucralose or aspartame. It’s also low calorie (about 10 calories per packet) with only a small amount of sugar, which makes it a reasonable alternative to soda or sugary juice drinks.The packets themselves are convenient. They’re small, easy to tear open, and perfect to keep in a gym bag, desk drawer, or travel kit. Just dump one into a bottle of water, shake or stir, and you’re done.A couple things to keep in mind. If you’re sensitive to stevia, you may notice a slight aftertaste, which is common with stevia-sweetened products. Also, the flavor strength depends heavily on how much water you use — if you mix it into a very large bottle it can start to taste a bit diluted.For the price (especially when you catch it on sale), it’s a pretty good value for something that can help make hydration a little more enjoyable.Bottom line: A convenient, low-calorie water enhancer with a refreshing cherry-lime flavor that makes it easier to drink more water throughout the day.
