Spring has sprung! Could it be all of the drinking for the weather we want? Probably not, but here we are. This week, Elle pops the top on Cherry Blossom by LaCroix and waxes poetic about the fleeting moment the cherry blossoms reach their peak and then fall. Seltzer springs eternal. Music by Steven O'Brien.

This week Elle sips on the zesty citrus gem from Good & Gather, Yuzu Mandarin. Full disclosure, she only looked up what a yuzu was AFTER purchasing and drinking most of the case of sparkling water. The pictures were enticing enough!

It's a classic summer flavor that brings sunshine straight to your mouth. Lemon by Spindrift is not just sparkling water, it's also real squeezed fruit. That's it, that's all that is in the can. There's no actual sunshine inside, but if you imagine for just a moment you can almost taste the sun's warm ripening rays kissing the rind of the lemons that were squeezed into this can.

Let's get tropical, everybody! This is a special tall can, a seasonal limited edition from Polar. Pineapple and Guava are a familiar and delicious flavor pairing that are essential summer flavors. Thanks to listener Christine in Los Angeles, California for this submission!

Sounds weird, tastes good. It's a spa day in a can. Let this sparkling water take you to a restorative day of self-care for the 10-15 minutes it takes you to drink it. Go for a second one, if the first go-round isn't relaxing enough for you. Elle tries (and fails) to bite down on this beverage, but it was worth a try. This episode briefly moralizes about testing long-held assumptions about your likes and dislikes, includes a short tangent about mayonnaise and Miracle Whip as well as a recipe for a delicious cucumber snack.

No, not BUBLÉ. BUBLY. These sips don't lie. On this episode, Elle sips on Cherry by Bubly. The can is so friendly that you can't help but smile while you enjoy the effervescent experience of this sparkling water. Pop the "heyo" tab open and dive into cheerful cherry refreshment. Steven O'Brien plays our theme song.

Who's the star of summer? Strawberry, that's who. We are still drinking for the weather we want with this summery flavor. Elle shares her useless but interesting skill for memorizing advertising jingles from 90s commercials. Steven O'Brien plays us out.

Relax bubbleheads, you're on Island Time. Pull up with your sunblock and snackle box, we are getting beachy. The perfect essence of beach plum for my fellow beach bums and bubble buds who drink for the weather they want. There's a picture of a beach plum on the can, but does this sparkling water also taste like clouds, ocean and sand? Guest reviews from Chrystie and Josh from PA. Thank you to Steven O'Brien for our music.

It's not technically a seltzer, this one is 92% sparkling water with 8% real squeezed fruit. On this episode we learn a little bit about what a blood orange is, confirm that it does not contain blood, and realize that perhaps Elle has Citrus Taste Blindness. Spindrift makes a very bold claim about real fruit tasting better, but better than what? That's just, like, your opinion man. Steven O'Brien plays us out.

Elle's ability to commit to things is pretty shaky but somehow, despite her lower impulses, she was able to hold on to a limited edition summer flavor to review during the dregs of a Philadelphia winter. Drink for the weather you want with Summer Berry by Waterloo. Take a sip and step back in time and space to a 4th of July parade in Small Town America. The local baseball champions are waving from their float as they make their way down the main drag, the volunteer firefighters are receiving their well-deserved appreciation from the community, and you... You're sitting on your aluminum beach chair in someone's tree lawn sipping on a Summer Berry Sparking Water and everything is Pretty Good. Thank you to Steven O'Brien for the music.
