Victoria’s Kitchen Almond Water Beverage Original 12 oz Can (Pack of 12) w/ Vanilla & Rose Flavor- Kosher, Soy,, Dairy, & Gluten Free Low Sugar & Calorie Soft Drink, European Inspired

I used to drink a lot of sugary drinks - i hated drinking water...But after watching Victoria's Kitchen Almond Water making their pitch to the Shark investors it piqued my curiosity. Who knew....I ordered some and suddenly i decided i liked drinking water. Almond Water! It's the most refreshing and satisfying beverage i've had since my first sip of Coca-Cola. It's has very very little sugar but is still delicious. I've become addicted and now i don't drink anything else unless i run out of Almond Water. The colder - the better. I'm delighted to have discovered this simple yet unique old world recipe being made by Victoria's Kitchen. Try it - You definitely WON''T dislike it esp if you drink plain old water every day. So boring. Everyone who i reluctantly allow to try some of mine have really liked it enough to try and find a store that has it. No one hasn't really liked it. So i've had to become stingy. Tough love.

UPDATE 1/8/2018:I am a big supporter of Amazon in general, and I really enjoyed this Almond Water in the past. I appreciate that Victoria's Kitchen is a growing business trying to succeed, and I am inspired by their story about how David's Grandmother used to make this water and he wants to honor her tradition… based upon all of these, I was willing to give it one more shot to see if the quality may have increased.I recently just placed another order through Amazon for $140 for 5 cases (3 original, 2 coconut). These cases also had the same issue of small dents on the bottom of the cans. This time, however, the taste of the water was so bad, they were literally undrinkable. There was a metallic, metal taste to the water that was very unpleasant. Other reviews have reported this metallic taste as well. This did not used to be there when I was first ordering through Victoria's Kitchen directly. Unfortunately, Amazon does not offer returns for their food items, so I cannot return these cases… but I did write an email to the owner of the company so that he's aware of the situation, as it seems to be getting worse. Hopefully, they can do something about it, and if they start selling the same quality water as I first enjoyed, I will come back as a customer and change my review.--------------------------------------------------------ORIGINAL REVIEW:I used to be a huge fan of this almond water and used to buy it 4 cases at a time directly from David at Victoria's Kitchen. It was perfectly sweet and refreshing and I'd drink on average one per day.However, since they made the move to Amazon, I have found that quality and taste has diminished. I bought 4 cases and out of the 4, all of them had marked up cans on the outside, and the water had a tinny taste to it, almost like the can has ruined it. Not to mention, I used to pay $80 for 4 cases, which now costs $112. So price went up, quality and taste went down. I really used to love the product...now it's just ok. Unfortunately, I will not be reordering.

Let me clarify the two stars. I first bought the Victoria's Kitchen Almond Water and Coconut Almond water here at Ralph's in Los Angeles. In the GLASS BOTTLES. Totally different product. The problem was whenever I went to buy some more at the Ralphs here on La Brea and Thirds STreet 90036, they were never replenished. Soo, being a huge fan ( the product in glass bottles is absolutely amazing, delicious and thirst queching!) I ordered the 'canned ones ' you see pictured here. Well guess what? All you taste is the tin-can! Because the flavor of the coconut and almond is so subtle.. with the metal containers .. all you taste is the tin! In the glass product? The flavor and taste is incredible!Don't believe me? Try it out yourself. It sucks it tastes so bad. Remember when you were a kid and you would put aluminum foil on your teeth to pretend you had braces? Well that's what these cans taste like! And, insult to injury I emailed the company asking if I could trade the 2 dozen can product for the glass.. and got a response from David Menione: Read our email correspondence here:Re: MY AMAZON ORDERDMDavid M*****Reply|Wed 9/7, 8:59 AMHi Alex,Thank you for your email. It is good to hear you like our glass products, I am sorry that you weren't able to find them at your regular Ralph's anymore. Sometimes, their selections changes. That being said, you can still find our glass bottles at many chains like Bristol Farms (on Beverly Blvd for example) or Gelson's (in Century City) and many other locations.Unfortunately, in part because of the high cost of shipping, we are not able to issue refunds on the online orders and we do not sell the glass bottles online because they break too easily.Best,David Me****Victoria's Kitchen(310) 926-****drinkvictoriaskitchen.comOn Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at 1:15 PM, Alexandra V wrote:Hi,I have been a fan of Victoria's Kitchen for a few months. I was purchasing the product at Ralphs here in Miracle Mile on La Brea Ave. in the glass containers. For some reason Ralphs stopped selling the product and so I purchased on Amazon. I bought a 12 pack of Almond Water and another of Coconut Water but in the tin can since the glass - again for some unknown reason- was unavailable. I would like to return the product as the water does not taste the same. Drinking from a can, all I can taste is the metal-y taste of the container. I will not drink it in that form and would like to exchange for the glass container otherwise I would like a refund.I live here in Los Angeles and can bring to you.Alex

Different taste.....maybe I have to drink more to like....It definitely tastes better when very chilled. Thought it would have a more almond taste along with the vanilla. Could taste too much of the added rose water or rose oil.

I absolutely love this product, and now my colleagues are always checking my luck to see what new product I have that they must try

I am not sure WHY others are leaving such negative reviews? I have always purchased the Almond water in cans. It has never tasted like metal. It is a GREAT product and I will continue to purchase it when available.
