What are some cactus water benefits?

Pricklee cactus waters use premium, sustainably-sourced prickly pears, the superfruit of the desert.

Prickly pears are super unique, just sweet enough, and taste like the perfect mix of watermelon & bubblegum! It's good for you AND it sounds delicious? Hey, we’re not complaining :)

Is Pricklee cactus water carbonated or caffeinated?

Our cactus water is carbonation-free, caffeine-free, and as natural as can be.

Is there any added sugar or stevia?

No stevia…do people actually like stevia? Each can of Pricklee cactus water contains a total of 7g of sugar, sweetened naturally from real prickly pear fruit and blue agave nectar. This is just HALF the amount of sugar you’ll find in coconut water!

Why do you add agave?

Two reasons! First: a hint of sugar actually helps to speed up the hydration process, AND increase the rate of absorption of electrolytes. Second: It's a succulent ;)

Is there alcohol in Pricklee cactus water?

Nope! Pricklee does not include any alcohol...but they make for delicious mixers for some refreshing, antioxidant-filled cocktails and margs ;)

While Pricklee is shelf-stable and can be stored at room-temperature, it is BEST enjoyed chilled, or over ice. It’s like when you first wake up in the morning; you’re just not at your best just yet.
