I was very nervous to try a new drink mix. I usually drink Liquid IV strawberry lemonade and firecracker. Those are the only other drink mixes I’ve tried, so that’s what I’m comparing this to. I waited about ten minutes after mixing in a 12oz glass (makes it a little stronger than recommended). It never completely dissolved, but neither does the Liquid IV brand. It was a very pretty color and tasted sweeter than I was expecting. It took me a little longer than usual to finish my glass because it was so sweet. However, the flavor was very good. I would prefer to support a company like SM over the other guys because of their ethics, so I’m glad I liked this flavor. I will definitely be finishing out my sample package and then purchasing more. I may even branch out and try another flavor!
