Who are the packs for?

Hosts serving a larger group

Individual cans let guests take a drink without sharing a large bottle. Radnor Hills lists a 24 × 330ml sparkling case, containing 7.92L in total; check whether that can count fits your guest list.

Hosts with mixed water preferences

If some guests want still water and others want sparkling, Aqua Libra’s mixed plain-water case contains 24 cans of each, according to the brand. Its 48 cans will also need more storage space than a small pack.

Hosts offering a flavoured option

Fruit-flavoured sparkling cans can sit alongside plain water. Check the particular drink’s ingredients: DASH lists lime extract, natural flavours and citric acid in its Lime sparkling water, while Volvic describes its Touch of Fruit Sparkling drink as containing sweeteners.

What should you check before buying?

Start with the number of guests and their still-or-sparkling preferences, then choose a pack size you can store and serve.

Priority What to check Your needs
Can count and size Compare both figures, not just the case size. Radnor Hills lists 24 × 330ml, or 7.92L; Ocado lists a Cano Water fridgepack of 10 × 250ml, or 2.5L. I want enough individual drinks for the group without buying a case that is too large to store.
Still or sparkling Check whether the case is entirely still, entirely sparkling or mixed. Aqua Libra says its 48 × 330ml mixed plain case contains 24 of each. Some friends prefer still water, so a sparkling-only case would not cover everyone.
Flavour and ingredients Read the ingredient list for each flavoured variant. DASH lists lime extract, natural flavours and citric acid in its Lime drink; Volvic identifies sweeteners in Touch of Fruit Sparkling. I would like a flavoured choice, but also want guests to know what is in it.
Storage and serving Allow space for the case and for the cans you plan to chill. Check the storage instructions on the pack before chilling them. Fridge space will be shared with brunch food, so I may need to chill cans in batches.
After the meal Plan where guests can put empty cans. Recycle Now advises emptying and rinsing drink cans before recycling. A separate place for used cans will make clearing the table simpler.

Common buying mistakes

  • Choosing by brand without checking the container

    A familiar water brand may sell bottles as well as cans, and its canned drinks may be flavoured rather than plain. Tesco lists bottled Highland Spring and Buxton multipacks, while Volvic describes its canned Touch of Fruit Sparkling drink as flavoured and containing sweeteners.

    Check the exact listing for cans or bottles, still or sparkling water, can count and ingredients before ordering.

  • Assuming flavoured water has the same ingredients as plain water

    Flavoured options differ. DASH Lime lists lime extract, natural flavours and citric acid; Volvic’s Touch of Fruit Sparkling drink is described as containing sweeteners.

    Keep a plain-water choice available if guests may not want flavouring, and check the label of any flavoured pack.

  • Forgetting where a large case will go

    Radnor Hills’ 24 × 330ml case contains 7.92L, while Aqua Libra’s 48 × 330ml mixed case contains 15.84L. A larger case means more cans to store, even if only some need chilling at once.

    Check your fridge and storage space before choosing a case; chilling cans in batches may be more practical for brunch.

  • Assuming recyclable means automatically recycled

    Empty cans still need to reach the appropriate collection. Recycle Now advises emptying and rinsing drink cans.

    Set aside a place for used cans and follow your local collection guidance.

Brands and formats to consider

These examples show how pack formats and ingredients differ; the brand name alone does not identify the drink inside a particular can.

Radnor Hills

Radnor Hills lists Sparkling Spring Water in a 24 × 330ml can case.

  • A plain sparkling format with 24 individual cans.
  • The case does not include still water for guests who prefer it.

Aqua Libra

Aqua Libra offers a mixed plain-water case with 24 still and 24 sparkling 330ml cans.

  • One case covers both still and sparkling preferences.
  • A 48-can case needs more storage space than a smaller multipack.

Cano Water

Cano Water appears in different sparkling-water pack sizes: Ocado lists a 10 × 250ml fridgepack, and Joybuy lists a 24 × 330ml ring-pull case.

  • The stated can counts let you choose between a smaller pack and a larger case.
  • Both examples are sparkling; check for a separate still option if needed.

DASH Water

DASH offers flavoured sparkling-water cans; Tesco also lists smaller DASH multipacks.

  • A flavoured option for guests who want something other than plain water.
  • DASH Lime lists lime extract, natural flavours and citric acid, so check whether its ingredients suit your guests’ preferences.

Questions about serving canned water

How many cans should I buy for brunch?

Use the guest count, can size and still-or-sparkling preferences to choose a pack. Radnor Hills’ 24 × 330ml case contains 7.92L, Aqua Libra’s 48 × 330ml mixed case contains 15.84L, and Ocado’s Cano Water 10 × 250ml fridgepack contains 2.5L. If you are unsure whether everyone wants sparkling water, include a still option.

Should I serve plain or flavoured sparkling water?

Plain sparkling water avoids the additional flavour ingredients found in some flavoured drinks; a flavoured pack offers guests another choice. Check the exact variant: DASH lists lime extract, natural flavours and citric acid in its Lime drink, while Volvic describes Touch of Fruit Sparkling as containing sweeteners.

Do I need to check storage instructions?

Yes. Read the instructions and best-before information on the pack you buy, and make sure there is room to store and chill the cans you intend to serve. A large case need not all go in the fridge at once if you can chill cans in batches.

What should I do with empty cans after brunch?

Recycle Now advises emptying and rinsing drink cans before recycling. Keep a place for used cans during the meal and check your local collection guidance for how to put them out.
