Review of Cactus rose sparkling water - Aura Bora by kyu

I’ve long been intrigued by the colorful cans and classy, unique flavor combinations of Aura Bora waters. I appreciated the super simple ingredients — just carbonated water and botanicals (in this case, prickly pear, #rose, and lemongrass.) The flavor was subtle yet refreshing. I don’t think I’d be able to pick out the specific extracts without being clued in by the can, but I definitely enjoyed the fresh fragrance and crisp effervescence. It’s tasty just on its own but would also make a lovely mixer.

These feel like quality #beverages — the cans even have that matte finish to set them apart from more vulgar mass-market competitors. Major kudos to the graphic designers, too: the artwork is gorgeous, and I was so charmed by the cute haiku about cacti. It was very fun to try but likely not something I’d buy again. I got this fairly discounted (yay for #groceryoutletfinds;) normally they’re about $2 a pop, which I personally consider a little unaffordable for flavor-infused sparkling water.
