Nothing goes better with summer than a cold, flavourful drink. It’s like brown shoes paired with a navy suit. It’s the perfect combination. Whether it’s a cocktail, mocktail, or just a can of soda, a nice thirst-quenching beverage is a great relief for the otherwise scorching weather. At the end of the day, drinking is a bonding activity. It is a relaxing activity. In fact, it is a vital activity. And the Vida Sparkling Drinks embody these three factors.
What are Vida Sparkling Drinks?
Vida – Spanish for life – boasts of two satisfyingly delectable lines of drinks, with substantial health benefits. The vitamin C line is great for the prevention of different ailments. In fact, it has 1000mg of Vitamin C, which is like taking 14 oranges in one can. The Zero line has zero calories, zero sugar, and zero colouring. With more than 10 different flavours, Vida indeed has something for your tastebuds. From the slightly savoury Salt Lychee drink to the minty taste of the Mint Lime Zero can, Vida Sparkling Drinks offer you a drink for any mood. Furthermore, its health benefits make it an excellent hydrator for those who engage in physical exercise. So, let’s dive in and see why Vida Sparkling Drinks are this summer’s beverage.
So many flavours
Exploring the Vida flavour catalogue is like being a kid at a candy shop (you can do that too right here). With so many different options one may feel overwhelmed. But to those who enjoy different Coke, Fanta, or Crush flavours, this is a God-sent. With these sparkling sodas, you can enjoy a different experience in every can.
The Mint Lime Zero drink is perfect for those who enjoy a minty taste in their drink. The citrus campaigners are going to love the different options of orange, lemon, or lime. But the cherry is the Original Citrus Drink, which carries all three flavours. And speaking about cherry, you do not want to miss the Sakura Zero drink. Probably the best one, but don’t tell anybody I said that 🤫. Whatever your taste, wherever you look. For any occasion, for any mood. There will be a bunch of Vida Sparkling Drinks for you.
Vida Sparkling Drink: ZERO line
You don’t gotta give up the waistline for a drink. With our many zero-sugar and low-calorie options it is clear that you can enjoy a great taste, without worries about those pesky simple carbohydrates. Dr Pepper, A&W and Ghost Energy produce drinks that taste great and leave no regrets. And that’s where Vida makes its butter. Vida takes it a step further and guarantees you zero sugar, zero calories, and the best part, zero artificial colouring. A natural drink that can be enjoyed, that will make you feel great and leave you with Zero regrets.
ZERO flavours: full of flavour
The aforementioned Original Citrus drink has a tangy yet sweet taste which goes very well over a light seafood dinner. Join your friends and eat some king prawns and lobster as the sun sets. Or better yet why not sip on the Lemon Zero while watching a movie with your significant other? And why not make a cocktail? Infuse some gin into the Vida Sakura drink and enjoy the most flavourful Cherry Blossom. Get acquainted with these flavours and discover your very own drink-meal combination. Below we will share a few cocktail recipes that you and your friends will love.
Vida Sparkling Drink: Vitamin C line
Drinking a can of soda should just be an enjoyable experience, with no other thoughts behind it. However, a Vida Drink offers us more than that. This is a beverage with actual health benefits while tasting beautifully. Just like the Zero line, the Vitamin C collection (get it, cause fash… dw about it) provides health benefits along with a great taste. It is easy to cool down to any can of orange Fanta, but you can get the same great taste while downing the benefits of squeezing 14 oranges into your juice. With 1000mg of Vitamin C, one of these can give you your daily necessary boost to maintain a healthy body and mind.
What are the benefits of Vitamin C?
First of all, what is vitamin C? This is an essential vitamin as your body cannot create it on its own. A water-soluble vitamin that, as you may know, is commonly found in many different fruits and veggies, such as kiwi, guava, orange, and lemon.
Among its benefits, Vitamin C can be an excellent tool for ailment prevention. This vitamin is a powerful antioxidant, working to reinforce your body’s natural defences. Antioxidants fight these harmful molecules called free radicals, boosting your immune system. Vitamin C also helps with inflammation and can help to prevent iron deficiency. Among other benefits, it is linked to lower rates of heart disease and, better memory retention.
Vitamin C flavours
From your beautiful orange soda (a classic) to the Experimental Blackcurrant drink, Vida offers us a bunch of different ways to get our Vitamin C fix. The Orange and Lemon flavours are two classic ways to enjoy some brunch with your friends. However, both the Kiwi and the Pink Guava drinks provide a more mature flavour profile, combining some of the undertones you experience when eating the real fruit. However, whether you want to enjoy them on their own, or as the base of a new cocktail, these drinks are sure to leave you satisfied. Check out the cocktail recipes we’ve made below!
