BevNET Review: Adina's Sangri'la flavor uses brewed hibiscus along with several fruit flavors, resulting in a blend of 58% juice and 9% hibiscus. We appreciate a company that's not afraid to use the real thing rather than tons of flavors -- and the results are fabulous. This product is lightly sweet with undertones of hibiscus and grape flavors. The finish is a bit tart, with a noticeable pineapple and berry flavor rounding things out. Overall, this is a really well done formulation. On the outside of the bottle, it's slightly difficult to figure out what this product will taste like. "Hibiscus orange cooler" and "Sangri'la" (which implies Sangria to us) may be potentially confusing to consumers. We'd love to see fruit or something that helps whet the appetite of the potential consumer. Reviewed on: 8/18/2006

BevNET Review: Adina's attempt to make a pomegranate and mangosteen drink is known as Pömagic. Typically, we have found that drinks that use either of these two ingredients end up with a thick and/or syrupy consistency and an overly tart flavor. Not the case with Adina's Pömagic. They've managed to create something that has a light flavor, but doesn't hide the actual fruit flavor either. As a result, this is one of the best tasting mainstream pomegranate drinks we've tried to date. The packaging, on the other hand, feels a bit stark. Again, we'd like to see some fruit images to help whet our appetites. The current label doesn't get it done. However, this is a very technically sound flavor that, with some minor tweaking, will meet the high standards set by the Adina line.Reviewed on: 8/18/2006

BevNET Review: Hibiscus Lemon is a very unique juice cocktail that uses an herbal base and is flavored with lemon, pineapple juice and cane juice. To those who are having trouble understanding what that means, it's kind of like a cranberry flavor but with less tart to it. Fortunately, the flavor is very enjoyable and we are confident that most people will enjoy its lightly sweet flavor. The design of the product is part "crunchy,” part "artsy" -- and overall very pleasing to the eye. This product is definitely something that you should try -- especially if you are sick of the overly sweet, unnatural tasting juice products that crowd today's store shelves.Reviewed on: 7/30/2007

BevNET Review: This is one of the best juice cocktails that we've sampled in a long time. Featuring a refreshing "mojito" style flavor, this product has a variety of distinguishable flavors, including lime, mint, and pineapple. Everything works harmoniously in its sweet, clean flavor. The packaging is well-designed, with a proprietary bottle that fits with the bright and funky artwork that's on the label. Overall, a superb product that we highly recommend.Reviewed on: 9/12/2005

BevNET Review: Hey, mon, we love the spicy ginger, and the highly evocative name of this pineapple ginger blend. But we do with the ginger wasn’t so brackish – it didn’t taste as fresh as it does in other ginger drinks. That’s the only complaint, however, as the pineapple juice flavor, cane sugar sweetener and hint of lime made for a highly refreshing juice cocktail that we couldn’t put down. We love the little dreadlocked Rasta guy on the label, which evokes island watercolors and happy times. A fine drink.Reviewed on: 7/30/2007

BevNET Review: Adina's California Kiss is a slightly juiced up version of the classic Mexican "agua fresca" drink. Utilizing a formulation that uses 27% juice, this product has a complex flavor that has both fruit (strawberry, banana, and pineapple) and herbal (hibiscus, rosehips) notes to it. The finish is sweet and tart, with just a hint of mint to top things off. Overall, it makes for a beverage that is extremely enjoyable. The packaging is colorful and artsy, but the type on the front of the bottle is a bit wordy and the font is too small. It was hard to distinguish this flavor from the other red-colored Adina. Minor things aside, this is one excellent beverage.Reviewed on: 7/30/2007
