When Poppi is your fave but…

As someone who regularly enjoys Poppi drinks, I was really excited to try the new Poppi Shirley Temple flavor that contains only 5g of sugar. What I appreciate most about Poppi is their balance of sweetness and natural ingredients, which makes them a great option for a healthier fizzy drink alternative. After trying this new flavor, I found it charming and tasty, especially with the familiar Shirley Temple notes of cherry and citrus. However, like many fans, I noticed it didn’t have as much fizz as I hoped. Poppi’s usual sparkling quality is a big part of the appeal, making it refreshing and bubbly, so this subtle flatness felt a bit disappointing. Still, this variation is worth a try if you’re looking for a lower-sugar soda option that is cute and flavorful without overwhelming sweetness. It fits nicely into a balanced lifestyle when you want a light, fun drink but want to avoid excessive sugar and artificial ingredients. If you love the brand and flavors of Poppi, I recommend giving the Shirley Temple flavor a chance despite the fizz difference. Sometimes simple tweaks like carbonation levels can depend on batches or storage, so it’s worth trying when fresh. Overall, I’d rate it 8/10 for taste and healthfulness, just wishing it matched the sparkle of their other Poppi options. For those considering trying lower sugar sparkling drinks, Poppi continues to be a top choice in the market. It’s perfect for a casual refreshment during the day or as a mixer for creative mocktails. Keep an eye out for how the fizziness varies so you can enjoy it at its best!
