I'm generally not a fan of fizzy drinks. All that gas plays havoc with my constitution! Not to mention the sugar/sweetener content, so this Limonata is strictly for a special treat. I first encountered San Pellegrino drinks in my local Bella Italia restaurant where they specialise in Italian branded drinks. The can is a beautiful bright yellow with a picture of ripe lemons and the company logo. The cans are topped with a pretty foil lid which reminds me of the old fashioned Ski yoghurt pots, the ones which looked like milk churns (maybe that's just me). I don't know what purpose this lid serves as the can is sealed with a ring pull, but it is very decorative. The only thing I can think of is that it keeps the bit you drink from clean?

The drink is not too fizzy, gently sparkling is a better description, which means that you get more of the taste, which is divine. This is a very fresh tasting drink, the natural lemon juice flavour shines through and it is quite sharp but not sour. It does contain sugar yet doesn't seem overly sweet. San Pellegrino also do a gorgeous blood orange version. I have actually drunk this limonata in Italy, naturally it tastes even better there, but even when I drink it here in dreary England I'm instantly transported to the lemon groves of sunny Sicily. The price for a pack of six cans is £3.49 in Sainsburys which is more expensive than many of the other brands but this is the real deal, and therefore, in my opinion, worth the higher price tag.
