What You Should Know

Polar Seltzer, Cranberry Lime is a crisp, calorie‑free flavored sparkling water sold in a 33.8 fl oz (about 1 L) retail bottle that you’ll typically find in the grocery beverage aisle — in the sparkling water / seltzer section beside other flavored waters, club soda and cocktail mixers. Its marketing leans on New England heritage (“family made since 1882”) and a small‑batch storytelling angle, positioning the brand as a nostalgic, craft‑minded alternative to sugary sodas. The label leans into health halos — “Made with natural flavors,” “No sugar,” “Calorie‑free,” “No sodium,” and “100% natural” — but it does not carry organic certification or explicit kid‑focused graphics; the tone skews adult and practicality‑focused rather than playful. In plain processing context, this is a commercially carbonated bottled beverage flavored with industrially produced “natural flavors.” Sensorially it offers a bright, effervescent mouthfeel: rapid, fine bubbles with a faint tart spray of cranberry and a hint of lime oil on the nose, finishing very clean because there’s no sweet residue. Packaging is convenient and recyclable, often a clear one‑liter screw‑cap bottle labeled with classic Polar branding; the ritual is to chill and sip straight, pour over ice at brunch, or keep as a mixer for cocktails and mocktails. This product fits shopping trips oriented toward people seeking a refreshing, no‑calorie soda alternative — an easy grab for road trips, weekend brunches, or post‑workout cool‑downs.
