Saratoga Flavored Sparkling Spring Water Wild Berry

Yes we live in Buffalo, NY. No, that is not a part of New York City. In fact we live the furthest you can be from NYC and still live in New York State. Whenever I travel people always assume I live near the city, and tell me how awesome it must be to be able to go there all the time. I'm sorry to tell you folks, but if you live in the North Eastern US, you probably live closer to “the city” than I do. It's actually about six and a half hours away from us. The only times I have been there outside of touring was once right after high school and once again about five years ago. I actually can't stand the place, but that is neither here nor there. My point was to point out that NY is a huge state with many cities and towns, many of which I haven't even visited. I was reminded that by this beverage. Saratoga Springs, where this is made is near Albany and it's famous for its mineral water springs. It was a hot spot back in the day for the rich and famous. I am neither of those things, and even though it's out of vogue, I have still yet to visit this location to experience its naturally carbonated mineral water.

I doubt the water in this bottle is in the state it is found in nature. I mean I'm sure they added some bubbles, but it is spring water that is carbonated. It also has a nice mind berry taste to it. My ladyfriend says that it's sweeter than she wants it to be, and I told her she was crazy, because there is no sweetener in it, just water, carbon dioxide and natural flavor. Luckily this doesn't have that dry/bitter seltzer water taste, and I actually enjoyed it a great deal. Sometimes you just need bubbles to tickle your throat and not have any sugar to go along with that. These are the times for Saratoga.
