AQUA Carpatica Flavours Peach & Mango is presented in a sleek 330 ml aluminium can, its minimalist design reflects the brand’s modern, eco-conscious values while reinforcing its premium identity.

The jury noted the drink’s soft, pale yellow-orange colour, subtly tinted by natural fruit juice and colouring from paprika. A gentle haze was seen as a natural and appealing characteristic.

On the nose, the aroma is dominated by ripe, full peach notes that feel authentic and inviting, steering clear of artificiality. The mango is more restrained aromatically, though it adds dimension to the overall fruity expression.

In tasting, the dynamic between the two fruits subtly shifts—mango takes a more prominent role on the palate, supported by peach and balanced with light acidity. Sweetness from agave syrup is measured and clean, rounded out by natural fruit juice and lemon concentrate. A soft sourness on the finish adds refreshment and keeps the profile lively.

The carbonation is finely judged: present and crisp without being aggressive, it complements the flavour without distracting from it. The aftertaste is lightly acidic, with a hint of lingering peach that extends the experience without overstaying.

For its balance of flavour, purity of source and clean, modern delivery, AQUA Carpatica Flavours Peach & Mango earns its place as a finalist for the 2025 Jury Prize.
