The companies going into production of new products that are aimed at meeting the market in regards to low calories, low sugar are certainly trying new things. The light flavour was liked by the one who loves a soda water and lemon most days, but the rest of us were looking for a sharper taste or more to it than just lightly flavoured carbonated water. It certainly had the scent of lemon when it was opened and fizzed as it was poured into glasses for us to enjoy. Well, out of 4 of us, one loved it and the other 3 thought it was a little bland. with the girls, as we are the ones who prefer this sort of beverage and it let our investigation for the perfect summer, low calorie, tasty drink continue. At the price of $13.99 for a pack of 4 it is on par with other ready to drink cocktails that are available. When checking out the Nutritional Information it is easy to read that there are no sugars, no preservatives, caffeine, very low calories (115 Cal per serve) and not much else added except the triple distilled vodka and a hint of lemon and lime. The packaging is clear and simple to see, read and understand. To date, I have not come across SWIM drinks in the shops or bottle stores so it has not had the chance to jump into my trolley. Through the season there have been many tasting opportunities for products such as this one but none of the others stated "caffeinated" so I thought this may have the extra lift that a Red Bull may give to a cocktail. I was excited to see SWIM caffeinated vodka soda to trial on KIWIreviews so gave it a try. with friends, it has been the summer of trying low sugar, low calorie drinks that are tasty and take away the guilt of high calorie consumption. Rather than just getting the usual bottle of wine for the bach and long summer days of laughing, visiting, bbqing, etc. This has been the summer of conscious drinking choices. This Review: 6.5/10 Taste: Price: Appeal: Personal Choice: I would happily buy these again and think it is great that effort has been made to create a drink for people with low sugar needs, and as a bonus the recyclable packaging is a great idea. I have tried clean no sugar alcoholic beverages before and found I could taste the alcohol too strongly due to there not being too much other flavours but with this I couldn't taste the vodka coming through too strongly and did get the refreshment from the light citrus mixed with soda. I noticed it was caffeniated which is appealing to give you that bit of energy which I liked about these drinks. I really enjoyed the light soda of this with a gentle fizz and a mild lemon lime flavour, it was very refreshing and was almost too easy to drink. In fact since cutting down on sugar I find sweetness in things that before I would not of and find it now hard to drink some of the sodas I once enjoyed. I have tried drinks with the new stevia sugar and do not like the after taste it seems to have so would much rather have no sweeteners at all. I have personally made a conscious effort to cut as much sugar as possible from my diet and found a huge difference in my overall health so seeing products without sugar or artificial sweeteners is always a delight for me. At $13.99 for a four pack these are a really good price slightly more expensive than mass produced vodka drinks like vodka cruisers but with a much more health conscious product inside the can. I am not a big drinker so rtd's are appealing to me as I can buy a small quantity for a reasonable price and they are a good alcohol content for me usually being around the 5% mark.
