lift

I like to have a little flavor in my water now and then and am over sparkling water brands. Their “flavors” are barely discernible at a certain point and I was ready to try something new. Enter Lift.

Pros: flavor, size, low calorie

Cons: price, use of natural flavors

I can forgive the price because I only drink one per day vs multiple of sparkling water. I tried Lift first because I heard it was good. And it is. Excited to try the other flavors.

Lift is my favorite so far, though I have yet to try all 4. It has a very pleasant mixed berry flavor that tastes very natural, like eating juicy sweet berries and not like the artificial berry flavor I was expecting. I like it chilled in the can, which has a nice texture to it. Weird thing to comment on in a review, but I'm a tactile person.

My favorite thing to do with it, though, is to make a fancy mocktail in a wine glass. Because I feel like a witch mixing a magic potion, and I love that for me.

I add a Tbsp. homemade Hibiscus rose simple syrup to the bottom of the wine glass with a Luxardo cherry and a squirt of Mary Ruth's liquid Vitamin D supplement, which is also mixed berry flavored. Sometimes I also add a dropper of kava extract if I'm feeling cheeky ;) I mix that well and top with ice, then pour in the can of Lift. I add a metal straw and if I'm really feeling schmancy I top with some dried rose and freeze dried strawberries. It's amazing. I call it self care.
