Jarritos Mango

The mango flavor is really natural, not syrupy at all, and the carbonation holds up well even after the bottle's been open a bit. I like that it's sweetened with plain sugar and colored with carrot and apple concentrate, feels more honest than most sodas.

The mango flavor tastes genuinely like fresh fruit, not that fake candy sweetness you get from most sodas, and the carrot-apple concentrate must be doing something right. Cans arrived cold-packed and fizz intact, perfect for a hot afternoon.

The carbonation is just right—not too sharp, so it goes down easy even with a meal. I grabbed a bottle for my kid and ended up finishing most of it myself; the mango taste is sweet but not syrupy, thanks to that carrot and apple concentrate doing something clever in the background.
