What to eat

There’s nothing more satisfying on a hot summer’s day than pulling the ring tab off a can of something cold and hearing that “pfft” noise. Usually, it involves grabbing something full of sugar, caffeine and all kinds of nasties. Vista’s range of flavoured soda waters are trying to change all that. Their simple cans contain nothing more than sparkling water and natural flavours, including lemon, berry and feijoa. We put some on ice and served them up at a recent barbecue and everyone enjoyed them — including the kids. If you want to add your own additives, like a splash of vodka, well, that’s up to you.
