I am participating in a sponsored campaign hosted by Emergen-C® I received compensation for this post. While all opinions stated are my own, I make no claims about Emergen-C as a product or its effectiveness.
I drink a LOT of water.
While I love it, there is a bit of flavor exhaustion. Or lack thereof.
The problem is there aren’t a lot of flavored alternatives that aren’t filled with bad stuff. When I had the opportunity to try out Emergen-C, I jumped at it. Who couldn’t use more vitamins?
They have new Cranberry-Pomegranate flavor that I thought would be an excellent add to my water to break up the monotony. Even better is that they are fizzy! I got addicted to sparkling water in Europe and have craved the effervescence ever since. Emergen-C has over 20 varieties of vitamin drink mixes. No monotony here! Plus, all of those B vitamins made for the perfect natural energy enhancement at work.
What is Emergen-C?
Emergen-C is a vitamin supplement drink mix that comes in a range of offerings from original Emergen-C, to Emergen-C Immune+®, to Emergen-C Kidz® and more. Emergen-C:
- Helps provide immune support year-round
- Enhances energy naturally and helps replenish electrolytes post-workout.*
- Has more vitamin C than 10 oranges in every packet for immune support.**
- Features essential nutrients, including 1,000 mg of vitamin C and other immune-supporting antioxidants zinc and manganese, 7 B vitamins (great for naturally enhancing energy!)
It’s easy to have on hand, too. Emergen-C is good with just 4-6 ounces of water, but if you have a few simple things on hand you can try one of the delicious recipes on their website. Of course, I couldn’t help but to make my own Emergen-C mock-tail.
This orange-y creation was the perfect way to end the evening after a day at the pool. I added some apple cider vinegar and lemon for the additional health and digestive benefits.
Orange Lemon Cider-tini
- 1 packet Super Orange Emergen-C
- 1 T apple cider vinegar
- Juice of ½ small lemon
- 6 oz sparkling water
Another thing I really love about this company is their commitment to giving back I like knowing that the money I spend on products is being used in part for good! For instance:
- Through Emergen-C Pink®, 25¢ of every 30ct box is donated to fund breast cancer awareness, research, and prevention efforts (up to $100,000 annual donation).
- For every box of Emergen-C Blue® sold, 25¢ directly supports the efforts of Surfrider Foundation®, whose goal is to provide protection to our oceans.
- Through Emergen-C Kidz, 25¢ is donated the Vitamin Angels, who provide essential nutrients to one child for one year every time a box a sold (up to $100,000 annual donation).
- Partnering with Operation Gratitude, Emergen-C sends packets overseas to help keep morale high and support our troops’ energy and immune systems.*
Interesting in trying it out for yourself? Emergen-C is offering a three-month supply AND a water bottle to one winner!

I’m really loving ending my day with a mocktail. There’s something so relaxing about the ritual.
Do you ever tire of plain water?
What’s your favorite mock-tail?
You swap out the ACV and swap in some champagne and I’d be willing to give it a try. 😉
I love that part of their proceeds goes to such worthwhile causes. That makes me happy.
um, ditto!
I love emergen-c! Didn’t known they have a new pomegranate flavor. I’ll def have to try that soon. And love that you made your own mock tail 🙂
It’s my favorite one! I love pomegranate anything. :))
favorite mocktail? well i love starting my day with water, acv, & fresh lemon
Mmm this drink looks so refreshing! Mocktinis are the best, who even needs anything else 😛
Cheers

Anything tastes better out of a martini glass! 😉
well you know i’m all about mocktinis AND staying healthy right now 🙂 right up my alley!
This would be perfect in your delicate condition. 😉
Love that stuff – never tried anything but the classic orange, but I’ll be on the hunt for the other flavors!
I definitely recommend the other flavors – especially the pomegranate!
I am seeing a few of these posts lately. I haven’t tried Emergen-C, but it would be good for me to have when my body is running low. Mocktail? Hmmm don’t make to many of those actually, but I love chai tea latte cold….does that count? 🙂
I actually used it this weekend to rehydrate after playing ball in 100 degree weather. It helped my headache!
I still make my ACV drink every morning – this seems like a good way to jazz it up a little 😉
Since I am a teetotaler I’ll drink anything fruity without alcohol so actually use Emergen-C!
This would be a great alternative!
Yum! I usually just do water + ACV in the mornings but this sounds good 🙂
I think that new flavor sounds really good! So far though, I haven’t tired of just plain ol’ water but those fizzy vitamin enhancing tablets look fun and tasty!
It’s actually a powder, not a tablet. But the fizz is fabulous. 🙂
I’ve been a fan for years. Haven’t seen the pom cherry flavor before. I usually go for the pink lemonade.
I’ve never tried the lemonade… must hunt for that one!
My favorite mocktail is lemon juice, avc and a drop of stevia!
One of my favorite too!
It’s delish!
I love sparkling water, stevia, pure cranberry juice, and apple cider vinegar! Helps me get down a liter 3 times a day.
Ohhhh… that sounds awesome. I’ll try that out. Thanks for sharing!
I will definitely try these. I get tired of plain water sometimes and this is perfect for that.
I get crazy bored of plain water–especially when I try and drink about 4 camelbacks a day! I usually use artificial flavor packets, but I would love to try something more natural and beneficial to my health 🙂 Thanks!
I hope you like it! I drink a ton of water too; this really helps break it up!
I’m addicted to the No-jito with Stevia that Kirk’s been making while I can’t drink. I swear it’s 99% as good!!
I want one on Thursday!
I love making lemonade with water, lemon juice, and stevia. To de-mock it, I add a shot of tequila if I’m feeling wild!
That’s a great idea! I love anything lemon.
Yum I gotta try!
I love Emergen-c! I always have a bunch at home and try to drink it a few times a week, especially if I’m feeling under the weather.
I had one yesterday after a hot workout and it helped a lot with recovery!
Mmm cranberry pomegranate!
This sounds like a mocktail I could get behind! Though I wouldn’t say no to turning it into a cocktail either 🙂
I love sparkling water with lime juice when I want a fun, non-alcoholic drink!
That’s so refreshing, especially in the summer!
fav mocktail? watermelon strawberry lime!
Oh wow… I need that in my life!
