Talking Rain w/ Ribeye Backdrop, cir. 2008As illustrated by this photo, Talking Rain Twist Lemon tastes great on a hot sunny afternoon, especially when it's washing down a freshly seared meduim-rare piece of red meat. Mmmmmmm, cow.
Oh, and before I forget: Wise Guise, you'll find your severance check in the mail in the next couple of days. Nobody steals a new product line review out from under Danithius! You'll never work in this business again, you two-timing beverage whore!
Ahem. Now then, this drink has a nice sun-kissed lemon flavor with just the right amount of bite, and nothing else. No sugar, no anything, just lemon-water. Nice, crisp, clean - goes great with food or as a nice refresher.
With this tasty submission, Talking Rain has won its way back into my good graces, which is pretty hard to do after my last Talking Rain sampling fiasco. I can now officially retract my statement that all of their flavor-creator scientist people must have been flunkies that were fired from the Kool-Aid corporation. Clearly that was only half of their staff, and the non-idiot members are working on the Twist series.

This stuff is 9% juice, which includes pineapple concentrate. (Interesting choice of ingredients. I would have never guessed it had pineapple in it.) As I said, no sugar and no artificial sweeteners, so you can't get too much healthier than that.
All in all, it's great for what it is (lemon-water), and it fits in well with our M.O. as a site, but I'm going to dock a point for lack of originality. As was my problem at first with Metromint, I don't like giving full points to something that I could make at home for 1/10th of the price. C'mon, give me a lemon for a quarter and some tap water, I'll whip up five of these. (Yes, yes, I know yours is "Ultra Premium", Talking Rain. But MY tap water is "Uber-Premium". To infinity. So there.)
Score: 4.0/5
