Casamara Club Sera sparkling amaro soft drink: Got this can of soda from Petra in Bushwick. It tastes like someone took the traditional elements of a cola (allspice, cinnamon, and citrus like lemon, orange, and grapefruit) and removed all of the sugar (the entire bottle has 4g of sugar). Quite a medicinal flavor that I would imagine only adults could enjoy. I didn't think it was bad for what it was, but it also wasn't a drink I would ever reach for. 3.0/5.0

Chi Forest Lychee Fizzy Sparkling Water: This zero sugar, zero calorie drink is sweetened with sucralose, so it still tastes sweet despite not having sugar. The lychee fizzy was my favorite as it's a less common flavor typically found in grocery stores but still captures the spirit of the asian fruit. It reminds me of a less intense version of lychee jelly cups I had as a kid. A good option for people looking for fizzy, fruity 0 calorie drink. 3.5/5.0

Chi Forest Grape Delight Sparkling Water: Grape soda was one of my favorite flavors growing up, and I found this fizzy grape drink to be a less guilt-inducing alternative. It's refreshing and lightly carbonated, without any calories or sugar. Like other Chi Forest drinks, it's completely clear and looks like sparkling water, but has a concentrated fruit flavor. 3.5/5.0

Chi Forest White Peach Sparkling Water: This was the third flavor of Chi Forest drinks I was able to try, which are zero calorie and zero sugar drinks. The white peach flavor is especially refreshing in the summer heat, though it does have a sort of candy peach flavor to it. 3.0/5.0

Dydo Purush Jelly Sparkling Flavored Grape Soda: This is a very unique drink that you need to shake in advance of opening to break up its gelatinous filling. It contains a mix of "jelly," which has been carbonated so there's no risk of having overly-pressurized soda explode upon opening the can, as well as coconut jelly (Nata de Coco). It tastes like Fanta grape soda, so very sweet, but I really liked the mix of softer jelly and chewy coconut cubes, and the grape flavor is also quite nostalgic for me. Purchased from a vending machine. 4.0/5.0

Found apple cinnamon sparkling water: Somewhere between a soda and flavored seltzer (with 14g of sugar), this drink does a remarkable job capturing the tart quality of a crisp apple. So much so that the aftertaste reminds me a bit of sour candies. It left my throat feeling like I just had a sharp lemonade. The amount of carbonation is spot on, and the cinnamon is present but not overpowering. 3.5/5.0
