A fun and fruity, non-alcoholic sparkling beverage from Costco to celebrate with!
Today I’m reviewing something from Costco that’s perfect for New Year’s Eve. The Costco Paul Brassac Organic Sparkling Juice! This is a non-alcoholic beverage and is kosher, organic and a a product of France.

Location in Store
You can find the sparkling juice in the beverage section at Costco, near the soda and juices. The item number is 5558566.
Taste
he first thing you notice when you open these bottles is that they pop just like champagne or sparking wine! Although it might seem like this juice is targeted at kids, I definitely recommend careful adult supervision if you’re letting your kids help open these bottles.
Both the apple pear and the apple raspberry juices have fairly strong scents. You smell the pear and raspberry much more than the apple. While they do smell a bit artificial, I enjoy the aromas.
Both juices are quite sweet with plenty of bubbles. The apple pear juice is the sweeter of the two and has a strong but artificial pear flavor. I like the apple raspberry juice more. The raspberry flavor dominates, and while it’s also somewhat artificial tasting, I find it pretty tasty. I like nearly anything raspberry-flavor though.
Overall, I don’t want to drink a lot of either of these juices (though I did have a couple more sips of the raspberry). With that being said, they absolutely deliver on providing a great non-alcoholic champagne-like experience. The bottles are fun to pop open and the juice is super bubbly.
Cost
The cost is $7.99 Canadian for three 750 milliliter bottles of organic sparkling juice. Not bad for three fancy looking bottles of sparkling juice!
Convenience
The box comes with three 750 milliliter bottles. Two bottles of apple pear and one bottle of apple raspberry. The best before date listed on the bottles is about 19 months from the date I purchased the sparkling juice.
Sparkling juice is a pretty great staple to have around the house during the holiday season or for any celebrations for those that don’t consume alcohol! That way they have a tasty beverage to cheers and celebrate with.
Nutrition
Calories
One cup of sparkling juice is 90 calories, zero grams of fat, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 20 grams of sugar and zero grams of protein. This is very high in sugar but not too high in calories and fat.
Ingredients
I absolutely love the simple ingredients list, exactly what I’d expect to see in an organic sparkling juice. No complaints about the ingredients!
Scoring
Taste: 7/10
Cost: 8/10
Convenience: 10/10

Overall
Give it a try!
I think kids would really love this for New Year’s Eve! Adults too! It’s a good staple item to have in your pantry to offer guests. I highly recommend this sparkling juice pack to non-drinkers and kids. Just be careful popping the bottles!

Great product, unfortunately there is no best before date on the product, notwithstanding the misleading image portrayed on this website.
For example on the bottle I have there is not best before date, however there is a printed code: “L0823300;09H05”.
Ideally it would be beneficial to ensure all products have a BB date as a part of the purchase/supply agreement.
Where do you find the best before or expiry date for Paul Brassac Organic Sparkling Juices.
J’aime ça, j’ai plein des bouteilles vide et ce que je les rend au magazin
We just bought these from Costco and while we loved the taste, we couldn’t finish a bottle in one sitting and were disappointed to note that there was no cap included with the bottles. We don’t drink alcohol so we don’t have any special corks or wine stoppers lying at home and it was very difficult for us to keep the juice from going flat. That would be the only downside that will stop me from purchasing this item again. If anyone has any suggestions on how to preserve the leftover juice in the bottle, that will be very helpful
Hi there – you’d just need to do what all of us drinkers do and buy a champagne stopper. They also work for other bottled drinks (and you could buy and use a wine stopper, though they don’t work that well for champagne or sparkling wine).
Hi Erum, while we haven’t had this product in a long time (just toooo sweet for my tastebuds), I seem to remember just reusing (with a bit of muscle) the cork that came with it. Otherwise, there are lots of specialty champagne corks available at a range of prices.
Good luck!
