Jelly Belly Sparkling Water Is Like Drinking Your Favorite Jelly Beans
Updated: Jan. 16, 2020
Jelly Belly sparkling water is giving other seltzers a run for their money.
If one of your New Year’s resolutions was to drink more water, you’re in for a treat. From millennial-favorite La Croix to spiked contender White Claw, sparkling water has been evolving deliciously. Plain seltzer, begone!
Now the jelly bean brand known for fun flavors is coming out with new Jelly Belly sparkling water.
What Flavors Will There Be?
While Jelly Belly might not be the obvious choice to launch a line of sparkling water, it makes a certain degree of sense—especially for those who think water is too boring. Jelly Belly has translated jelly bean varieties into eight thirst-quenching flavors: Pink Grapefruit, Tangerine, Very Cherry, Watermelon, French Vanilla, Lemon Lime, Pina Colada and Orange Sherbet.
In other words, most of the fruity bases are covered. But there is potential for a lot more sparkling water flavors.

Is This Sparkling Water Going to Be Healthy?
Jelly Belly promises “zero sugar, zero sweeteners, zero sodium and zero calories,” so these sparkling waters deliver all the flavor of pink grapefruit or pina colada with no dietary downsides. Not to soda-shame, but even while diet soda may be healthier than regular soda, it’s not exactly great for you either.
There’s no going wrong with fizzy water, though. Polar? Perrier? Bubly? We tested 11 different sparkling water brands to find out the best—and the results may surprise you.
Where Can We Get Jelly Belly Sparkling Water?
Initially, Jelly Belly sparkling water will have a limited release since it has partnered with supermarket Hy-Vee (a chain with 250+ stores in eight states). However, the company plans to sell the sparkling water online at jellybelly.com soon. The suggested retail price range is $4.99-$5.99 for a carton of eight 12-ounce cans.
While we wait for our shipment to arrive, we’ll be sipping one of these oh-so-refreshing flavored waters.
