Reviews mention

  • Authentic, punchy fruit flavors
  • Silky, fine carbonation texture
  • Refreshing, lightly sweet profile
  • Versatile, cocktail-ready mixer
  • Occasionally muted pineapple flavor
  • Very tart lime intensity
  • Inconsistent carbonation experience
  • Too intense for flavored-water seekers

BAWI earns strong reviews as a flavorful, refreshing sparkling agua fresca that works: real fruit taste, tart profiles, and silky-light carbonation win repeat fans, especially in Maracuyá (passion fruit), Piña (pineapple), Guava, and El Limón. Reviews also flag inconsistencies—pineapple can read muted or “boring,” lime skews very tart, and carbonation varies from light to perfect—so buyers seeking subtle, flavored-water vibes may be surprised by the intensity.

  • i enjoyed these! though, they are quite tart vs sweet. not a bad thing (: have used them for cocktails (and a shandy!) as well as on their own.

  • Love it! Super flavorful and not artificial tasting. Passion fruit flavor is my favorite!

  • I was intrigued by the packaging and love a good sparkling beverage, especially if it includes pineapple. I would've loved the pineapple to shine through a bit more but it still managed to be better than typical sparkling water-type drinks. I'd love to try the other flavors at some point, especially 'el limon' because a hint of lemon is more refreshing than pineapple. Love the idea of traditional Mexican flavors.

  • another austin local brand. i fully support it. got it at rawdawg run club and the founders are incredibly sweet people. amazing

  • Bawi is delicious! The flavors are not groundbreaking so don't expect a huge surprise if you're experimental and adventurous with your soda. Imagine pineapple juice that's light and refreshing, carbonated, plus just the right amount of sweetness :)

  • These sparkling Aisha frescos are light and refreshing. The taste is sweet but not heavily so and the flavors and unique and worth trying all of them. I wish it was carried in more places so that it was easier to get.

  • Dam these are good. The pineapple one is a little boring but lime and passion fruit is amazing! Nice and tart,add some salt and ice to the lime,it’s great

  • Are you someone who likes to suck the juice out of a lime? You'll LOVE this. The El Limon flavor is my current hyperfixation beverage and it's like nothing else on the market.

  • I'm a sparkling beverage fiend and have never tried anything like Bawi. The flavor is anything but subtle but in the best way! Pineapple is my favorite, but maracuya (passion fruit) is a close second. I've yet to test this theory, but I have a feeling the combination of tanginess and carbonation would make for a great mixer.

    This is definitely more like a sparkling juice, so if you're expecting flavored water you'll probably be a little surprised about the intensity at first!

  • I never got my order and was charged 150$ I went to fresh tyme to try it and it was good! I just wish I got my order..

  • Delicious & refreshing! My husband and I are flying through the sampler case, will definitely be buying more of these. They also make for excellent mixers :)

  • The passion fruit is my absolute favorite flavor. I had to order two cases so I can always have it. I love it alone or paired with vanilla vodka or tequila for a little kick.

  • No Joke…The best seltzer I have ever had. Perfect carbonation ratios and amazing flavors. Found it at my local Sprouts Grocery and ordered more right away!

  • I tried the Maracuya drink and was shocked it was SO delicious! It was perfectly carbonated and had delicious passion fruit flavor but not too sweet from no added sugar! So good.

  • Bawi is the perfect mix of carbonation, REAL fruit, and a hint of sweetness. Perfectly refreshing. I can’t get enough! I found Bawi in a gas station in south Austin and have been hooked since. I recently won an IG giveaway—they gave me some cool swag and a case of Bawi. The handwritten note included was kind and sweet! You have a customer for life✨

    Aside from the beverage itself, Bawi’s overall visual identity is very strong. Carefully considered and created, this visual identity perfectly captures their brand. Trendy enough, but not so much so that it will be out in a few years. Well done, y’all!

  • So good, makes me want to shower in a Bawi variety pack!🔥🔥🚿🌊💦🥵🥵🥵

    Feedback

    Every flavor is well worth it. It's hard to pick a favorite.

  • Was thoroughly impressed by how different and individual the drink tastes. Not like any other canned beverage I've had. The monk fruit sweetness, with the freshness of the fruit flavor makes the drink incredible. what brings it all home is the fineness of the carbonation. The thin silky bubbles make the fresh fruit flavor that much more refreshing. 10/10

    Feedback

    I think the pineapple and passion fruit flavor is a little stronger then the lime, and i love the subtleness of the lime, so maybe tone back the intensity of the pineapple and passion fruit. but what do i know, i couldn't make a drink this damn good.
