BOULDER, Colo., April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The natural goodness of IZZE® meets the juicy and delectable flavor of watermelon in IZZE Beverage Company's latest addition to its bubbly line of low-calorie IZZE esque®. Sparkling Watermelon, hitting store shelves in April, is a delicious, all-natural beverage with just the perfect amount of carbonation for light, flavorful and thirst-quenching summertime refreshment.
"We're excited to add Sparkling Watermelon to our delicious low-calorie lineup," said Brad Armistead, director of marketing, IZZE Sparkling Juice. "With only 50 calories per bottle, it's the ideal, guilt-free, sparkling summer beverage."
The pairing of watermelon with sparkling water is just the latest evolution of the most-consumed melon in the U.S. Long revered for its sweet and succulent red core, watermelons are 92 percent water and were actually used as canteens by early explorers.

IZZE esque makes it easy to enjoy naturally low-calorie goodness. Sparkling Watermelon joins three existing IZZE esque flavors: Sparkling Black Raspberry, Sparkling Limon and Sparkling Mandarin. Every 12-ounce bottle of IZZE esque has just 50 calories and less than 14 grams of sugar that occur naturally from fruit juice, making it a perfect choice for health-conscious drink seekers. As with IZZE Sparkling Juice, IZZE esque is all natural and contains no refined sugars, caffeine, preservatives or artificial flavors.
IZZE esque is available nationwide in Whole Foods Market, as well as in select grocery stores, delis, and casual and fine restaurants for a suggested retail price of $1.39 to $1.69 per bottle or $4.99 to $5.49 per 4-pack.
