Carpe Diem Botanic Water transports you to a spa...but also pairs with your most sophisticated dinner courses. Photo by Maria Bacarella | IST. |
| WHAT IT IS: Alpine spring water infused with herb and fruit botanicals, and beneficial kombucha and ginkgo teas. |
| WHY IT’S DIFFERENT: The botanical infusions are sophisticated; the teas are interesting; both offer different flavor alternatives to the usual soft drink lineup. |
WHY WE LOVE IT: A little bit fizzy, a little bit sweet, a little bit herbal, a lot different. Carpe Diem Botanic Waters are a quick spa staycation...and also a non-alcoholic alternative to cocktails and wine. |
| WHERE TO BUY IT: Available at Whole Foods Markets and Wild Oats nationwide. Online at VolvicSupplynet.CMA.com. |

Carpe Diem Botanic Waters
One of the first things you notice when you pick up one of the attractive blue plastic bottles of Carpe Diem is the herbal motif. Each flavor has a different botanical element on the label and the bottle cap. If if you’re a gardener or botanist, you might recognize it. Otherwise, just turn the bottle to the side and you’ll see the eight or nine botanicals inside.
Do you want to harmonize, relax or vitalize? Maybe you just want to find the flavor that’s most appealing to you. All of the flavors are lightly carbonated and heavily appealing. On Page 4, you’ll see serving suggestions. Pair them with cheese, fish, pasta and, of course, dessert. Each 16.9-ounce bottle has two servings; an 8-ounce serving has 35 calories, which includes 9g of sugar (2-1/4 teaspoons).
Carpe Diem Harmonizing Botanic Water

from)
- Birch Leaves

- Elderflower
