For Italian citrus soda style
Sanpellegrino Italian Sparkling Drinks (line)
These citrus sparkling drinks, such as Aranciata, use real fruit juice and are less sweet than mainstream soda.
Not for: Anyone avoiding added sugar.

Not for: Anyone wanting a sweet, juice-forward drink.
What the AI looks for in Sparkling Juice Drinks
- Juice content
- The declared juice percentage separates juice-forward drinks from flavored sparkling water. The percentage drives flavor, sugar and calories.
- Added sugar
- Zero added sugar means all of the sweetness comes from juice. Check the added sugars line. Some 'sparkling juice' drinks are sweetened sodas with a splash of juice.
- Packaging
- Cans ship and stack better than glass bottles. Glass breaks in transit and weighs more.
Brands that matter
- Izze: Juice-forward sparkling drinks.
- Sanpellegrino: Italian citrus sparkling drinks with juice.
- Spindrift: Sparkling water with a small amount of real fruit.
- Martinelli's: Sparkling ciders and juices.
What to avoid
- Drinks labeled 'naturally flavored' with no declared juice when you want juice
- Glass multipacks if shipping breakage is a concern
