Glitter Summer Shine - Pear and Guava J2O (Sainsburys) By @Cinabar

Glitter Summer Shine - Pear and Guava J2O

One of the signs that Christmas is on its way is when Glitter Berry J2O arrives in the shops, I always buy some for the Winter season. It seems to arrive every year as a limited edition, and I do actually look forward to it. As a fan of soft drinks I buy quite a few packs of J2Os over the whole year, but this year they have a summer special. Excitingly it also contains edible glitter, I am so not a grown up because this rather excited me. The limited edition is Glitter Summer Shine Pear and Guava J2O. The choice of fruit also seems very different to previous varieties.

I couldn’t see that much glitter when I looked at the bottle, although the drink is a nice yellow colour and the label rather pretty and colourful. Once the drink was in a glass the glitter swirled pleasingly in the juice and the golden drink really did have a summer vibe.

The flavour isn’t as sweet as many of the other J2O drinks, this one has a nice sharpness that made it very refreshing. The guava is the dominant taste, but this melts away to a softer pear flavour. It is the sort of drink that would be perfect on a hot day in the back garden with a barbecue. The slightly tangy flavour will cut perfectly through the heat, and the glitter will sparkle in the sunshine. I do hope this is one of the signs that Spring or Summer are on the way, we had snow last weekend.
