Reviews mention

  • Refreshing zero-sugar formulations
  • Clean, natural-leaning ingredients
  • Balanced, lightly sweet flavors
  • Distinctive, eye-catching packaging
  • Lingering artificial-sweetener aftertaste
  • Inconsistent flavor execution
  • Occasionally overly tart lemonade
  • Non-carbonated, lacks desired fizz

Swoon impresses many reviewers with refreshing, zero‑sugar lemonades and iced teas that feel clean, light, and visually striking, but reviews also flag inconsistent flavor and a lingering artificial‑sweetener aftertaste. Reviews say the Peach Tea, Ginger Lemonade, and Half & Half can taste balanced and satisfying, while Pink Lemonade polarizes for tartness, minimal flavor, or monk fruit/stevia notes that some find unpleasant.

  • I tried the pink lemonade flavor and was disappointed. It tasted a lot like monk fruit which I'm sure is fine for most, but I personally don't love it. That aside, the actual flavor was extremely minimal. I had a two friends who I was with try it and they didn't like it either. Unfortunately, the bland flavor means I will give trying the rest of their line a miss.

  • I really like the healthier tea concept that Swoon has put onto the market. Replacing your typical Lipton tea, Swoon offers simpler, better-for-you ingredients without compromising flavor. Peach tea is a personal favorite, with an eye-catching can. Highly recommend!

  • Tried the swoon X Barbie lemonade and really enjoyed it! I've had it a few times and glad I purchased on my end.

  • I got the 12-pack Barbie pink lemonade during Thingdrop. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement, especially since the cans were so beautifully designed :( The flavor and aftertaste are truly unpleasant and I ended up either tossing the remaining liquid or adding a ton of sweetener anyway -- which totally defeats the purpose. As someone who loves a sweet drink but is also more health-conscious, I really wanted to like this. The better-for-you bev space is also so saturated and there are simply just a ton of better-tasting options out there.

  • I tried the pink lemonade one, and it was fine. I think I'd rather just drink a full-sugar lemonade!

  • The pink lemonade has a somewhat artificial taste. While I didn't find it particularly enjoyable when consumed directly from the can, it does improve when diluted with water, serving as a decent flavor enhancer. Since it comes in a can, I wrongly expected this to be carbonated. It was a little jarring to realize it's flat, but that one is on me.

  • I wanted to like this. It's so pretty. But the taste just wasn't there for me — or any of the 5 friends of mine who tried it. The mission is nice, but my type 1 diabetic husband also didn't like it or really see the point. There's an artificial taste to it we just couldn't get behind.

  • The Barbie Pink Lemonade and iced tea lemonade isn't my favorite-- if you're sensitive to Monkfruit, you'll likely feel this way too. BUT!!! The ginger lemonade is so good. No Monkfruit taste. absolutely delicious and worth trying, 10/10. It's got that spicy ging tangy tart vibe going. You absolutely must try, even if you weren't super into some of the other flavors! I plan to keep trying them all because I love the brand visuals and their focus on being diabetic friendly.

  • The idea is great, and it’s a good alternative to regular store bought lemonade. I also loved the packaging and was sold by the Barbie pink, however, it’s not that great. It literally taste like store bought lemonade. So if you have health reasons for purchasing, good for you. If you are just buying it for the taste, just go to the grocery store.

  • I love the brands story and their mission. I wish their drinks had more flavor. I tried the Barbie lemonade and was very underwhelmed. There was nothing really special to it and it lacked good strawberry flavor.

  • I got the Barbie Pink Lemonade flavor as part of a Thingdroip. I really debated whether or not I even wanted to order this as historically I don't like "diet" beverages, but when I saw that there weren't any sugar alcohols, and that it is instead sweetened with monk fruit I decided to give it a try. Its not bad. I was disappointed that it wasn't more pink, haha. I also wish that the strawberry came through a little more. Its *'very* acidic, so if you're a more-lemon-than-sugar kind of lemonade drinker, you'll probably love this. I do like that monk fruit doesn't seem to have a funky aftertaste like a lot of sugar alternatives. This flavor wasn't really for me but I would be open to trying other Swoon flavors!

  • I wanted to love these drinks so, so, so badly! I'm a huge fan of lemonade and iced teas, but lemonade especially. I love the fact that these are zero-sugar, so they can be enjoyed by diabetics and individuals following certain diets. Sadly, I just can't get behind the flavor. It was super disappointing, and tastes nothing like the description. I couldn't finish any of the beverages.

    If you're curious, give it a try, but I'd consider purchasing a couple cans before buying a case, to see if you like the flavors.

  • I tried the half and half iced tea lemonade version. I thought it was very good tasting, very light and refreshing. I thought the can is very cute and aesthetically pleasing as well. I would repurchase this product!

  • cute! not really tempted to spend my own money on this though bc im so sick of fun drinks lol but their barbie collab was super cute and yummy.

  • Poppi older sister or cooler competition, I loved the flavors but it does leave a little bit of a after taste I can’t put my fingers on it but I do not enjoy it, although overall the drink tasted good

  • Wanted to love this. Hate the taste and after taste of stevia; wish they and others would stop adding it.

  • Swoon's Arnold Palmer Half and Half has a refreshing blend of tea and lemonade, making it a decent choice for a light, summery drink. However, there's a slightly odd aftertaste that detracts from the overall experience. While the initial flavors are pleasant, the aftertaste can be a bit off-putting. If you’re looking for a sugar-free option with a unique twist, it’s worth a try, but be prepared for a flavor that might not be to everyone’s liking.

  • Has a strong "diet" tea taste, if this is your only option it is not bad. They have many flavors to choose from but the zero sugar drink is not for me.

  • I love the pink lemonade flavor - super tasty and I end up picking up a few cans every time I'm at the grocery store. There's definitely a little bit of a noticeable difference in taste from a traditional pink lemonade, but it's not something that I'm super bothered by personally, and I appreciate that the drink is zero sugar.
