3.5/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Carbonation is very strong and immediate, with aggressive fizz and bubbles
  • Drinkable plain without the off-taste some unflavored carbonated waters have
  • Glass bottle format and strong bubbles make it suitable for mixing with lime or spirits
Reviewers push back
  • One reviewer measured extreme acidity and oxidation levels in lab testing
  • Carbonation may be too intense for people unaccustomed to heavily fizzy water
  • No flavor profile beyond plain mineral water and carbonation
Reviewers agree the carbonation is exceptionally strong and the water drinkable, but one health-focused channel warns it tests highly acidic and oxidizing in lab measurements.
— best for: People who enjoy aggressively carbonated plain water or want a mixer for cocktails and micheladas will find the strong fizz and clean mineral taste suitable.

Sparkling water is certainly not for everyone. If you happen to be a fan then I recommend this. It has such a delicate lime essence. I like that there’s no sweetness and that there’s no sugars or Sucralose fake sugar. These have helped me to kick my diet soda habit. And if my toddler wants a sip of my sparkling water it comes guilt free letting her have a little “soda”. I sometimes like to mix thi Aislinn · walmart.com

These are the only drinks that got me to want to drop soda. I was shocked at how flavorful they are while having the most crisp and carbonated lime twist to it. It tastes so refreshing and is my absolute favorite drink! I have tried many brands in the past but nothing compares to the Topo Chico Lime. A must try, much healthier option than soda, and perfect for any time of the year! Mariah S · influenster.com
