Yes, Mango Bubly exists in multiple forms
For those seeking a taste of tropical paradise in a fizzy drink, the good news is that mango bubly is a real and widely available product. Produced by PepsiCo, this sparkling water combines crisp, carbonated water with the natural essence of mango, offering a refreshing and subtle fruit flavor. The product is available both in its traditional ready-to-drink aluminum cans and as a flavor concentrate for SodaStream machines.
The standard mango bubly can
The classic mango bubly is sold in vibrant aluminum cans featuring the brand's signature playful design. On the official bubly website, the can is listed with the greeting "love at first phssst," a nod to the sound of opening the can. Like all bubly sparkling waters, the mango flavor contains zero calories, zero sweeteners, and no artificial flavors. This makes it a popular choice for those looking for a healthier alternative to sugary sodas or juices.
Creating mango bubly with SodaStream
In addition to the pre-packaged cans, the mango flavor is also available as a 'bubly drops' concentrate designed for use with SodaStream machines. This allows consumers to create their own custom-flavored sparkling water at home, controlling the intensity of the flavor. The process is simple:
- First, carbonate fresh, cold water in a SodaStream bottle.
- Next, add approximately ¾ teaspoon of the mango bubly drops to a 1-liter bottle.
- Finally, adjust the drops to your personal taste preference and enjoy.
This option provides an eco-friendly and cost-effective way to enjoy mango bubly, reducing reliance on single-use cans.
Taste profile and availability
The flavor of mango bubly is often described as light and mild, rather than overly sweet. It offers a pleasant hint of tropical mango that is refreshing and not overwhelming, making it a versatile mixer for cocktails or mocktails. While some reviewers note the flavor can be very subtle, others appreciate its light and natural profile. The availability of mango bubly is widespread and can be found at most major retailers and grocery stores that carry the bubly product line. It is also commonly included in multi-flavor variety packs.
Other mango-inspired bubly products
It's important to differentiate between the standard mango bubly sparkling water and other product lines. In March 2024, PepsiCo introduced bubly burst, a new beverage line featuring fruit juices for a bolder flavor and color. One of the bubly burst flavors is peach mango bubly burst, which offers a much stronger taste profile compared to the standard sparkling water. Additionally, a mango lime bubly burst is also available. For consumers seeking a more pronounced, juicy fruit flavor, the bubly burst varieties are the ideal choice. Those who prefer the classic, subtle effervescence should stick to the original sparkling water version.

The versatility of mango bubly
Beyond simply drinking it on its own, mango bubly can be used in a variety of ways. Its light, unsweetened flavor makes it a fantastic base for creating low-calorie cocktails or mocktails. It can be mixed with fruit juices, served with fresh fruit garnishes, or used as a mixer with spirits. The SodaStream drops version offers even greater customization, allowing users to experiment with other bubly drops flavors to create unique tropical combinations. For example, combining mango and lime bubly drops could create a customized, tangy mango-lime sparkling water experience.
Conclusion
In conclusion, mango bubly is not only a real product but a popular flavor within the bubly lineup, satisfying the desire for a tropical, unsweetened sparkling drink. Whether purchased in its classic recyclable aluminum cans or created at home using SodaStream drops, the beverage offers a crisp and natural mango essence. For those seeking a more intensely fruity and juicy experience, the newer bubly burst line, which includes a peach mango flavor, is the better option. The brand ensures a variety of options for different tastes, all while maintaining its commitment to zero calories and zero sweeteners in its classic sparkling water range.
