Waterloo Sparkling Water

Recently I've decided to cut down my soda intake. Sodas the main thing I drink all day everyday and has been for years, so I think you can understand why I need to find a healthy alternative. I knew finding a sugary alternative wouldn't be possible, so I focused primarily on replicating the carbonation of soda, and landed on sparkling water.

Waterloo was my brand of choice. I've only tried two flavors so far, grape and lemon & lime, and they suck. Not vomit or gag inducing bad but every time I take a sip its just bitter, and not a citrusy bitter. The can smells like the flavor but you take a sip and its just tastes like you melted a pill in water. Which is fine I've tried the olipop healthy soda drinks. They have a weird taste to them, but with the sparkling water its just horrible, I cant see myself committing to this as something I would drink everyday.

I've only been drinking them for a few days now and so far I'm only reaching for them because they were 5 dollars a box. I'm not the type of person to waste food and nobody else is going to drink them. I'm obviously missing the sweetness of soda, I know that. Are any of the other flavors good? Maybe one that's relatively sweet? Am I screwed and should just turn to another alternative completely?
