Product Information

As already mentioned, these sodas have “zero” calories, although as you will see from the screenshot below, there are actually 2Kcals per 100ml. Presumably that’s few enough to qualify as “zero” from a marketing perspective. NOTE: You can currently save 50% on all Dash waters and soda waters using code WONKYWATER50 here. Dash Soda Water Review: The Basics Discarded Spirits Co., a sustainable line from William Grants & Sons, launched in 2018. The company produces a Cascara Vermouth from the fruit that is discarded during the coffee production process, and a Banana Peel Rum, using ‘finishing’ rum, which is usually thrown away after flavouring whisky barrels, with banana peels for extra flavour.

The process began in 2016 when SinFooTech’s co-founder, Jian Yong, set out to conduct research into soy whey as part of his PhD studies at the National University of Singapore’s Food Science and Technology programme. After several months of trials the university team perfected a technique of turning soy into an alcoholic beverage. Soda water involves artificial carbonation while sparkling mineral water comes from mineral springs or wells. Flavour The new range marks the brand’s first move beyond infused sparkling waters and entry into the mixer category. Finally, Dash has accreditation from B Corporation, an organisation that “balanc(es) profit with people and the planet.” VerdictMade from British spring water, wonky fruit and bubbles, Dash Water has no calories, no sugar, and no sweeteners. The products are served in aluminum cans and glass bottles “Making our cans from recycled aluminium uses a tiny 8% of the energy of producing new materials,” Wright explains. The company’s sustainability efforts don’t stop there. When the on-trade opened up for outdoor dining on 12 April, Discarded sent out a team of ‘ zero-waste-warriors’ to help keep London’s Soho streets clean with the aim to recycle all litter to make face masks for bar staff. Last July the company used the excess by-product of milk to make hundreds of renewable facemasks for bartenders working across the country. Wonky forever. All fruit are welcome at WONKY HQ - we embrace the bent, crushed, curved, knobbly, misshapen produce that others say no to, and we also give a warm welcome to surplus fruit, from overproduction.

Guilt-free drinks, with zero calories and no artificial nasties, are all the rage these days. Since I gave up drinking alcohol, I’ve become a bit of a specialist in them! Do you realise that I can go to Tesco and buy beer and sell it cheaper than we can buy it for from the brewery? It's not landlords that are ripping people off it's the greedy breweries. We're just trying to make a living whilst trying to keep customers happy. Here at DASH, we’re pretty much carbonated water experts. We offer a range of tasty, flavoured sparkling water - from classic lemon to unique mango - that are all free from calories, sugars and sweeteners. All of our drinks are infused with real, wonky fruit that others say no too, because it’s our mission to combat food waste. Carbon Neutral to our core. We offset all carbon emitted from our drink’s cradle-to-shelf lifecycle. It helps us sleep at night.The Los Bagels batch sold out in December 2019 – the next round will be available in 2022. Alchemy Distillery remains the first and only Humboldt distillery to make whiskey from local organic grains. The spirits are currently only available in California and Oregon. Best served in a pitcher with heaps of ice, lime and mint infused soda water puts us in the same garden party mood as cucumber sparkling water does. Try a cold can of this for the ultimate refreshment. Though soda water’s super fizziness means it holds alcohol better, sparkling water can still be used as a mixer. Classic spirits like vodka and gin can be paired with sparkling water to make a refreshing drink that’s a lot softer than a soda mixer. Fruit sparkling water is also a delicious way to spruce up a spritzer, especially when with wine or Aperol, like in our Peach Rosé .

The flavour is definitely more mint than lime, and it’s really quite strong for something with no calories. After sourcing the abandoned fruits Steinar cleans and then juices them, before adding yeast to ferment the juice. Following fermentation the drink is distilled to alcohol which is then diluted to a 40% alcoholic drink. The vodka that is produced will have a faint hint of the fruit used to make it – some are slightly apple flavoured for example, others might taste of grape. According to Garage magazine, Steinar has been working with local distillers and local food importers to increase the scope of Catch of the Day, turning it into a product that works on a commercial scale. In common with Dash Water, these sodas are made with infused “wonky” fruit, and offer the trinity of “no sugar, no sweeteners, no calories.”Sparkling water and soda water have a very similar taste, but because soda water contains sodium bicarbonate to make it fizzer, the taste is ever so slightly sharper. However, the taste difference is so subtle that it’s easy to substitute one for the other. Which is healthier, soda water or sparkling water? As part of its commitment, Dash Water aims to save 2,500 tons of wonky fruit and vegetables through selling 150 million cans by 2025. The idea for Served began in 2017 when two health-conscious restaurateur brothers, Dean and Ryan Ginsberg, saw a gap in the market as their customers were increasingly looking for a high-quality alcoholic beverage to match their healthy lifestyles, which had transparency, both in provenance and nutrition. The hard seltzer trend was growing in the US, but the brothers weren’t very impressed by the artificial flavourings. Hard seltzers play into a lot of those mega trends that are going on, whether it be sustainability, plant based products, reduced sugar, provenance, all of these sort of factors combined is what got us really excited about the category, which we hadn’t seen in the UK before,” says co-founder Dean Ginsberg. One of the seltzers in my regular rotation is Dash Water (you can read my review here). It tastes good, and I find the fact the company uses “wonky” reject fruit rather endearing. As such, I was intrigued when I heard they had launched a new range of mixers, in the form of Dash Soda Water.
