I am not affiliated with Kraft Foods, makers of Mio Liquid Water Enhancer. I received this product for free as part of a Facebook giveaway. All items mentioned were purchased with my own money and all thoughts/opinions are 100% my own.
I was extremely excited to see that this was a full size sample and not just a packet or two of single serving samples. According to the package, it contains 24 servings and 1 serving is about 1/2 tsp. It also indicates that you should use 1 squeeze per 8oz. of water.
I got so excited about this sample that I ripped open the box, got myself a cup of approximately 8oz. of water and went to town. The very first thing I will say about this is to be careful. For some reason I thought it would come out in drops, or at least a bit slowly. It does not! It shoots out like a water gun. I ended up with blue flavoring all over my hand and fingers because I tilted it instead of holding it straight upside down to squeeze. Lesson learned.
I started with one squeeze, stirred and tasted. Too watered down for my tastes. I could barely taste anything. Added another squeeze and stirred. Better and I could start to taste the blueberry, but not quite enough flavoring for me. Yet another squeeze added and stirred in. This was just about right as far as strength of flavor goes. I added another to see if four would be too much and it wasn't. It really tasted about the same as three.
The water above looks far more blue on camera than it did in my cup. In my cup it was more of a purple or lavender, however this could have been due to my lighting or any other number of factors.
Once I got down how many squeezes I needed, I sampled the water as it was. 8oz of water and 4 squeezes of the Mio. It tasted pretty good, though a lot more blueberry than lemonade flavor. In fact, I really didn't taste any lemonade. It was mostly blueberry. I wouldn't have known it was supposed to be Blueberry Lemonade except the package told me so.
As an aside, and not really a negative, I drank this at about 11am and for the rest of the day, every time I burped I tasted blueberry. While it wasn't necessarily unpleasant - there are far worse things one could burp - I was surprised that the flavor had lasted really that long.
Have you tried the new Blueberry Lemonade Mio? Though I haven't looked, I'm somewhat under the impression that it may not be available in stores just yet, so will you be trying it when you're able?
