Waterloo Sparkling Water has announced the launch of a new Spiced Apple flavour variation, offering a calorie, sugar and sweetener-free Autumnal experience. “After 50 versions over nine months of development, we found the perfect balance of warm baked and fresh crisp apple flavours with cinnamon and spice notes, landing on an apple pie filling finish with hints of vanilla sweetness”, said Adam Price, senior vice president of operations and flavour development lead at Waterloo. The new beverage’s blend of apple, aromatic spices and cider notes can be consumed on its own or used as a mixer for cocktails and mocktails, and like all of Waterloo’s portfolio, the drink contains no calories, sugar or sweeteners. Waterloo drinks are made with non-GMO Project Verified natural flavours and purified carbonated water, providing a crisp and refreshing experience that supports healthy, active lifestyles.
