‘Still or sparkling?’ is one of the big questions of the modern age (when it comes to ordering a drink for the table anyway). If you tend to opt for the latter then S. Pellegrino’s new Essenza range should spark some interest. These gently bubbling infused drinks come in sleek 330ml cans and are available in three flavours: tangerine and strawberry, dark morello cherry and pomegranate, and lemon and lemon zest. Providing an elevated spin on the traditional soft drink, they are ideal with seafood, white meat and sautéed vegetables.
