MOTT'S Garden Cocktail

| 51 Comments
Summer's just around the corner, and doesn't it just make you dream of fresh, crisp vegetables, straight from the garden and lovingly prepared for your family's table? Yes. But the reality is that moms are busy people, and busy people don't always have the time to prepare delicious fresh vegetable dishes every day.

Garden-cocktail.jpgWhich is why it's a good thing there's Mott's Garden Cocktail; an exciting blend of vegetables with smooth garden fresh taste and aroma and contains two servings of vegetables per 290 ml.

Mott's Garden Cocktail, lets you and your family conveniently and deliciously enjoy the vegetables you need. Getting two servings of vegetables never tasted so good! In addition, Mott's Garden Cocktail is available in Low Sodium that contains 78% less sodium than the original and is a good source of vitamin A, fiber and a recognized healthy choice by the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

The single-serving containers make it easy to carry while you/your family is on the run, while the 945ml and 1.89L multi-serve size great for your at home convenience.

We sent samples of Mott's Garden Cocktail to 100 of our Go2Girlz testing panel to get their feedback. So what did they (and their families) think? The verdict was nearly unanimous - most of our testers loved it, even some of the skeptics who claimed they weren't fond of vegetable beverages to begin with. Take Rachel, for example. A mom of 2, she wasn't a fan of vegetable beverages, but gamely tried out Mott's Garden Cocktail. Here's what she had to say, "I really wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but when I took a sip, WOW!!! I have already bought more."

Nearly all of the other 99 testers agreed with Rachel, and most of them commented that the best benefit of this product is the fact that it packs 2 servings of veggies into just 290 ml. Certainly the convenience of single-serve bottles and the nutritional benefits topped the list of benefits for the Go2Girlz. The only drawback our testers could find was the sodium content (in the original cocktail only). In fact, nearly all of our testers said they would recommend Mott's Garden Cocktail to a friend, and some already have. As for buying it themselves, again, nearly every one of the 100 Go2Girlz product testers who tried Mott's Garden Cocktail said she would buy it again. As Sharyn, mom of 3 put it, "yes, it's a nice easy convent way to have your daily fill of veggies".

My family loved the zippy taste of Garden Cocktail. It's a fabulous drink that is packed full of veggies and has a vibrant and refreshing taste.

I, my husband and 3 kids all loved the Motts Garden Cocktail. Everyone loved the taste. My husband and I liked the idea of getting two servings of vegetables in one tasty drink and especially loved the fact it was a lot lower in sodium. My kids loved the taste and when it comes to kids taste really is the main factor. I have bought Motts Garden Cocktail regularly since trying it and my kids actually ask for it when we're grocery shopping. It makes me happy to be able to buy a product that everyone in my family loves and that is also a healthy choice. With summer coming I think we'll be drinking even more of this because it is a refreshing drink choice.

Great product! I avoided drinks like this in the past as I never found one whose texture I enjoyed, Mott's Garden Cocktail is smooth and not as think as ones I had tried in the past, allowing it to also quench your thirst. Easy, healthy, quick snack when you are on the go!

loved it! great way to get some extra vegetables into your daily diet!

My husband and I both love this product, A quick, easy and healthy snack! What more can you ask for?

I loved it and my 12 year old actually liked it. The only vegetable she eats is cucumber so this is big! I liked the taste very much as well as the consistency.
Drinking that for lunch instead of a bottle of water makes more sense.

I loved it and my 12 year old actually liked it. The only vegetable she eats is cucumber so this is big. I really like the taste and consistency. Drinking this at lunch or as a snack is the way to go.

I loved the fact that it was a convenient "good for you" item! All the nutrients and goodness packed in a small bottle (as well as being available in larger size) Even my teen liked it!!!

Our family was concerned with the high sodium and sugar levels of the drink. As a veggie replacement, we'd have to consume far too much of it to get the 2 full servings. I think we'll stick to eating the real deal.

I was happily surprised by the fresh taste with no bitterness often found in veggie drinks. Will buy it again.

I liked the taste of the Garden Cocktail. I enjoy the fact that is full of vegetables. It is difficult getting vegetables into the family.

Smooth and refreshing!

I like the smoothness of Mott's Garden Cocktail, others are acidity(sp?), this goes down smooth,taste great and no bad aftertaste

Taste great, my kids love it. Great new size to take for school lunches. Not too sour and smooth

Mott's Garden Cocktail has a great taste and my kids loved it which is a great alternative for a delicious and nutritious snack when we are on the go! Its a guarantee that they are consuming 2 servings of vegetables which is effortless!

What a light and refreshing taste... Good tasting and good for you... I like the fact that they have more choices in their product as well.. I am going to try the Zesty one next....

I love Mott's Garden Cocktail it has a nice zippy and refreshing taste! What a great way to get extra veggies into your families diet.

It's really great when a product comes along that your family enjoys and it is really good for them, too. Mott's Garden Cocktail is a great product!

My family loved the taste. I will buy it regularly because it is a great way to get your veggie servings in without effort. Great product.

We loved the fresh taste of Mott's Garden Cocktail. It didn't taste "thick" (quoting my kids) compared to other similar products. I loved the size too -- a convenient way to get more veggies in a day!

The taste and consistency of the Mott's Garden Cocktail is outstanding! It's super convenient for getting our daily veggie quota and it tastes great. As a mom, it's important to get nutritious foods in my family's diet and equally important, if my family looks forward to having it, then all the better!

I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed it! It's a wonderful way to get that serving of veggies easily and conveniently!

Loved it!

We enjoyed the smooth texture of this vegetable cocktail, it was tasty, a little zesty and satisfying.

Loved this - it's nicely seasoned, zesty (not spicy) and very refreshing! A perfect way to get veggies on the go.

We love this. It made it onto my grocery list and my husband even drinks it. It's the easiest way to get veggies into my family.

Love Mott's Garden Cocktail - great balance of flavors, I do find other vegetable drinks taste basically like tomato juice. Tastes great at room temp or chilled.

I use it to make Bloody Mary-style drink with vodka for my husband at the end of the day (he loves the taste of Mott's Garden Cocktail) garnished with carrots, or cucumbers and a few shrimp (a la cocktail) which makes for an excellent end-of-day healthy snack AND as a snazzy cocktail. Win-win!!

Nice texture. Not my favourite flavour of vegetable drink.

Wasn't as salty as I thought it would be. A lot lighter in taste compared to other products on the market.

I am surprised that both my husband and I both enjoyed this drink. A healthy alternative!

We recently had a bbq and added this to our repertoire of bevvies. It was a huge hit, especially as a mix!

This will now be a staple for me. I have it at work as my afternoon pick-me-up!

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would and it's a great (and convenient way) to get my veggies in!

Great way to get my veggies in. Sometimes I can't remember to eat my veggies because I'm so busy. Now I can drink them! Love that!

My family loves Mott's Garden Cocktail. A tasty way to add vaggies in our diet.

A great way to add veggies into our diet. My family loves the taste!

Not too thick and very tasty my kids love it!!

Mott's Garden Cocktail has a great refreshing taste. It was really delicious served as a cocktail.

A great way to increase your vegetable intake!

Love the tangy taste and very smooth. Great way to get alittle extra veggies in your diet.

I thought it was a little too tart and so did my husband. The color is great and the packaging is convenient. I will try it again to see if I get the same reaction.

I found it better taste than other available brand in the market. it was not too thick so was easy to drink. overall my family liked it .

I really like the taste of Motts garden cocktail!

Although we all enjoyed the flavor, we probably won't buy the product without comparing nutrition labels with those of the competitors first. This product seemed a little too high in salt (25% DV) and sugars (third ingredient listed). With summer upon us we'll try to snack on fresh veggies and water as much as possible.

I loved the taste of Mott's Garden Cocktail. It was very tasty and refreshing. I would definitely buy it!!

Loved it !!

While both my husband and myself loved this drink, my kids didn't care too much for it. They prefer the juice that has veggies and fruits. I was also concerned about the high sodium content.

Love the taste and flavour of Mott's Garden Cocktail. Quite refreshing and is a great snack on the go.

Very tasty and everyone loved it

I NEVER tried it!! I always avoided drinks like this in the past(including regular tomato juice) as I never found a texture-without a bitterness-that I enjoyed...I guess I'll have to give it a try next time I go to the grocery store lol thanks for the comments guys you convinced me to try it! lol
