Gone are the days when you entertained 1000 people for a wedding, rolled out white butcher paper onto trestle tables and served Akhni in plastic bowls and Marshals in the bottle. If you’re all about presentation you could see how such a striking bottle could enhance any table setting. The rosé was the closest taste to an actual wine, and it wasn’t bad.The first thing that wowed me about Zari Sparkling Grape Juice was the beautifully designed artwork on the bottle. The mimosa wasn’t a bad flavor, but calling this a mimosa is like calling a kale smoothie a milkshake. We all know how I feel about cider and this cider with bubbles didn’t do it, either. This taste like a fizz-induced version of that. Remember when your kids were infants and they started on apple juice. No, I get its intended purposes and all, but some things shouldn’t be fake, like hair, money, meat and - now - mimosas.įor my tastes, the clear winner was the white grape. Todd Porter: I never have been a big fan of faux alcohol. The white grape juice was refreshingly light and fizzy, while the pink rosé has a wine-like vibe.Įlsewhere, the alleged mimosa tasted like cheap orange punch, and the sparkling cider was plain, old apple juice in a fancy bottle. It was thin, sugary and artificial.ĭan Kane: I’m not sure what purpose these alcohol-free sparkly juices packaged like champagne would play in my life, but a couple of them were enjoyable to sample. It reminded me of the orange drink McDonald’s served at birthday parties. The mimosa, on the other hand, was borderline undrinkable. I’d buy a bottle as an alcohol alternative at parties. It doesn’t mimic the taste of wine exactly, but it’s tasty without being overly sweet. Jessica Holbrook: I didn’t have high hopes for the rosé going into this Taste Test, but it ended up being my favorite. #SPARKLING GRAPE JUICE DRIVER#If you’re a designated driver over this holiday season or someone avoiding alcohol for any reason, consider this tasty option. The rosé provided the best combo of sweetness and flavor and without added sugar. No one went back for seconds, and word-of-mouth was all negative. Rich Desrosiers: Here’s all you need to know about the mimosa juice: In a newsroom where locusts descend on any food or beverage left unguarded, this bottle was the last to go - by several hours. If this was the only drink at the party, I’d stick with tap water. It was very flat and reminded me of Hi-C, which I never liked. The mimosa left me feeling sad and suffering from bad aftertaste. What I expected to be the most decadent was a huge letdown. It definitely was the fanciest bottle of the bunch. It was good, but not as good as the rosé and white grape. The cider was as you might expect - just like apple cider, only very fizzy and carbonated. Maybe I’d enjoyed a lighter pour instead of the serving size. I was sad to find out it had 37 grams of sugar per serving. The white grape reminded me of being at my grandparent’s house for New Year’s Eve parties as a child. It gets my vote for the favorite of the four, followed by the traditional sparkling white grape juice. I’d be happy to enjoy this on New Year’s Eve. I was worried it might be a flop, but it was tasty. Kelsey Davis: The sparkling rosé was surprisingly good.
