Fizzy Lizzy Lone Star Grapefruit

The Bev: I must first say, that unlike most other grapefruit sodas, this actually TASTES like grapefruit, it better, it is 70% juice. Now, for those who have never drank 100% grapefruit juice, or don't like it, this may not be your cup of juice. Grapefruit is naturally sweet AND bitter, which can turn some people off. For those who like it, or are willing to try it, this would be a good place to start. It strikes you with it's mild sweetness, and finishes with just enough tartness to remind you this is real juice. It isn't as sweet as more popular sodas like Fresca, but it lacks that (IMHO) nasty Aspartame aftertaste, and the possible side-effects. It tastes just like it should, a fizzy little grapefruit. It left no aftertaste or cottonmouth, like I expected it to.

The Info: Fizzy Lizzy has been around a few years, and has a decent catalog of carbonated juice drinks, 8 as of this posting. They have won a few humble awards, and compete with the likes of GuS, Kristall and the PepsiCo owned (and pointedly rhyming) IZZE.
The Damage: Only 110 calories per 20oz bottle, that's not bad; 29 grams natural sugars.
Price: $1.29 for a 20oz bottle, $4.99 for a 4 pack.
Retailers: Lizzy's cute website has a nifty 'find' page to locate the nearest retailer to your zip code.
Ingredients: Triple-filtered carbonated water, Rio Red grapefruit juice concentrate, white grape juice concentrate, natural flavor, Vitamin C.

The End: I actually liked this beverage more than I thought I would. I believe it balances out perfectly, but it may not be for everyone.

The Score: 4.5 out of 5.
