Healthy soft drinks brand, DASH Water, is launching its latest flavour of wonky fruit infused sparkling water for summer – with the release of Grapefruit.

DASH Water is infused with real, wonky Aussie fruit – the bent, crushed, misshapen fruit which others say no to. The new Grapefruit flavour joins Raspberry, Peach, Lemon, and Lime in the DASH lineup.

The naturally flavoured drink is made in Australia with local ingredients - fresh spring water, bubbles and wonky Grapefruits – and never any sugar, sweeteners or calories.

DASH Water co-founder, Jack Scott, said the team had decided to make grapefruit the star of the show this summer, as an often-underrated fruit.

“Like all our drinks, DASH Grapefruit is infused with locally grown, wonky fruit that others say no to,” said Scott.

“With artificial sweeteners and sugars continuing to make headlines for the wrong reasons (and rightly so), we at DASH have made it our aim to give our customers a drink to feel good about.

“We’re proud that DASH Grapefruit – like all our sparkling waters – contains no sugar or artificial sweeteners making it a delicious and genuinely healthy alternative to the excessive sugar and sweetener-filled mainstream soft drinks,” he said.

DASH Grapefruit is available to buy in Woolworths, and is launching in Coles next month, for RRP $7.90 in a four-pack.

SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
