Ranking Kirkland Brand Drinks At Costco From Worst To Best
BY LEI SHISHAK
10. Sparkling Water
Kirkland Signature's flavored sparkling water leaves much to be desired. Its lemon sparkling water has a pleasant taste, but other flavors go downhill.
The grapefruit water is slightly fizzy and has a barely noticeable flavor, and the lime flavor is flat and tasteless. While it's cheap, there's inconsistency in flavor and quality.
9. Flavored Water
Kirkland Signature's Sparkling Flavored Water offers a refreshing beverage with a perfect carbonation that provides a satisfying fizz when you open its cap.
Despite the taste of artificial sweetener and the look of artificial colorings, it's worth a try if you're seeking an affordable, zero-calorie alternative to sugary drinks.
8. Vita Rain Zero
Infused with vitamins, Kirkland Signature Vita Rain Zero comes in various refreshing flavors, like lemonade, mango, and acai blueberry pomegranate.
While its dragon fruit flavor has a strong artificial sweetener taste and an acidic aftertaste, other flavors are outstanding. Plus, it's one of the affordable options out there.
7. Colombian Cold Brew
Kirkland Signature's Colombian Cold Brew is based on 100% Colombian coffee beans. Its rich dark brown coffee has a pleasing viscosity that isn't too thin.
It has a unique and earthy flavor profile, though the taste is somewhat flat and lacking in freshness and robustness. However, it has a distinctive taste and is quite affordable.
6. Sport Drink
Kirkland Signature's Sport Drink is available in three flavors — fruit punch, orange, and blue raspberry — and seems like a direct competition to Gatorade.
The flavors are all enjoyable, especially the fruit punch. Made with natural flavors and cane sugar, each variety has 150 calories and 250 milligrams of sodium per serving.
