  • The unflavored offering pairs the pure, crisp taste consumers know and love from smartwater with refreshing bubbles for a fresh take on everyday hydration.

smartwater is bringing the bubbles to its signature hydration experience with the introduction of smartwater sparkling, offering consumers a new way to enjoy the pure, crisp taste they know and love from the brand.

 

The launch comes as the sparkling water category continues to evolve and consumers look for more premium options that deliver on both taste and experience. For smartwater, that means an opportunity to bring the brand’s premium approach to a new format while staying true to what has made it a smart choice for hydration since 1996.

 

Made with vapor-distilled water, carbonation and added electrolytes for taste, smartwater sparkling is refreshingly simple: an unflavored sparkling water that puts smartwater’s pure, crisp taste at the forefront for an elevated take on everyday hydration. A balanced level of carbonation delivers refreshing bubbles while allowing that crisp taste to come through. 

 

smartwater continues to innovate and build on its core hydration offering. The introduction of smartwater sparkling marks the latest evolution, expanding the brand’s portfolio to meet a broader range of hydration occasions.

 

“smartwater sparkling is a natural extension for the brand because it allows us to broaden the role we can play in hydration,” said Ashley Summers, General Manager and Brand Lead, smartwater and vitaminwater, North America at The Coca‑Cola Company. “It gives us an opportunity to expand the smartwater portfolio in a way that feels relevant to how people are drinking water today, whether they’re reaching for hydration at home, at work or on the go.”

 

smartwater sparkling will be available in eight-packs of 12-ounce cans and six-packs of 0.5-liter PET bottles. The product will launch exclusively at Walmart stores nationwide beginning Oct. 12 and roll out on Walmart.com in late October, with broader national distribution planned for 2027.
