Ugly Drinks
Blue Raspberry
Ugly’s latest limited-edition drop is a time-honored, nostalgia-fueled flavor unicorn: the mysterious and enchanting flavor known as Blue Raspberry. A flavor both familiar as our own names, and yet as apocryphal as the Gospel of Thomas. We can conjure it in our minds instantly, and yet what even is it? After all our time on […]

Butterscotch
We should preface this review by saying that we love Butterscotch. Love. So this will not be a neutral review. Even if this sparkling water were mediocre, we would still be Butterscotch apologists. This is a pro-Butterscotch sanctuary, and if you hate Butterscotch with an undying passion then you should probably see your way out […]

Candy Cane
When this limited-edition Candy Cane holiday offering from Ugly popped up in our inbox, we knew that we had to have it as our first foray into the Uglyverse. We love a refreshing mint on our palate, as evidenced by our obsessions with Good & Gather’s irrepressibly refreshing Cucumber Mint and Aura Bora’s sensory dream […]

Dr. Ugly
Ugly’s Limited Editions have long been the bane of the Bubbleverse: fleeting gems that disappear like a carbonated wave upon the shores of our dreams. Crashing on our tongues one minute, sucked back into the big blue void the next. And they’ve been dogged about this approach for a while now, selling out of their […]

Fruit Punch Energy Water
Fruit Punch is one of the quintessential flavors of childhood nostalgia. The name alone can conjure halcyon summers of sticky sodas on fingers, greasy hot dogs and a sense of freedom adult existence can never replicate. That sweet and inimitable tropical fruitmalgam wrapped in our memories as the flavor of innocence itself. So when Ugly […]

Mango Soda Energy Water
The third in Ugly’s trifecta of new energy waters, after Mountain Ugly (a Mountain Dew clone) and Fruit Punch (Hawaiian Punch) is…Mango Soda (???). The soda-flavor theme was pretty easy to follow until we got to this one. Maybe we’re living under a sugar-free rock here in the Bubbleverse, but we’re kind of coming up […]

Mountain Ugly Energy Water
As the sun rises on the hills and hollows of the Bubbleverse, the sparkling, effervescent condensation that forms on the trees and grasses of our pristine wilderness trickles in bubbling rivulets down into crystal clear alpine streams. This is the image that mountain dew conjures to our innocent & naive minds, at least. In reality, […]

Pumpkin Spice
We missed the sparkling gourd boat last year when Pumpkin Spice was Ugly’s official Ltd Ed drop for an entire month, so we were ecstatic when Ugly brought back their Pumpkin Spice for a mere 48 hours just in time for the arrival of Spooky Season. Aside: We aren’t entirely sure when “Spooky Season” became […]

Root Beer
We ordered a case of Ugly’s latest drop into the bubbleverse the first day it was announced, and it sold out before our box even landed on our doorstep. So you’re already reading a tale of a bygone era. Sorry. It’s back to A&W for you, unless you’re one of the blessed few who got […]

Strawberry Cream Soda
At this point, we basically imagine the masterminds behind Ugly’s Ltd Edition Flavor Drops in some Charlie Kaufman-esque “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” room, technicians furiously observing the minds of seltzer addicts, trying to pinpoint that sweet spot between Childhood Nostalgia and Guilty Pleasure, in order enthrall us to their products forever and ever.
