Rating: 6/10 As with the two IKEA drinks that I have already mentioned in this series, the issue with this drink is that it is only available at IKEA. However, it was a very nice drink.

Rating: 7/10 I'd never heard of lingonberry before trying this drink, but it was really nice! It had a fruity / berry taste, and was also fizzy. As far as I know the drink is available in a bottle, and would probably last for a few drinks. I would probably like to buy this again, … Continue reading Exploring Non-alcoholic Drinks | IKEA Sparkling Apple & Lingonberry Drink

Rating: 5.5/10 My drink review last week was of another flavour of the Appeltiser Spritzer range, and I think I prefer this apple and blood orange flavour, but there isn't much in it for me. I felt that this one was marginally nicer, and as this is a can I would buy it again if … Continue reading Exploring Non-alcoholic Drinks | Appeltiser Spritzer – Apple & Blood Orange
When I first heard about ereaders, I was adamant that I would never want one. I love books and I wanted to remain loyal to the phyiscal format that I love so much. The smell of the pages, the feel of the book in your hand, turning the page, being able to physically see how … Continue reading Have I been converted to ereaders and ebooks?
Rating: 5/10 If you read the last post in this series, I talked about an Innocent Lemon & Lime drink that tasted a bit like apple to me, and actually it tasted very similar to this Appeltiser drink. If you are a fan of apple and apple drinks, then this would appeal to you. Unfortunately, … Continue reading Exploring Non-alcoholic Drinks | Appeltiser Spritzer – Apple & Exotic Lime
