Greer’s OC: Air alcoholic beverage now sold at local stores
Ever since Air debuted in grocery stores, organic markets, beverage shops and convenience stores throughout Orange County, it’s upping the ante on carbonated water by making it more exciting.
Air is the first sparkling water infused with alcohol that comes in natural fruit flavors like berry and citrus. It’s low calorie — just 95 calories — and with only 4% alcohol it’s a perfect beverage option for a healthier lifestyle. Think a light club soda drink with an alcohol content similar to light beer.
A four-pack of Air’s 12-ounce slim cans costs $6.99, or two 16-ounce cans cost $3. It is available for purchase at many area Albertsons, Ralphs, 7-Elevens as well as the Laguna Beach Whole Foods.
