This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

This past summer, I lived abroad in Italy for two months. In those hot, humid months of June and July, I was constantly parched. Whether I was gazing at Renaissance architecture or funneling fettuccine into my mouth, I consistently wanted one thing: water.

But everywhere I went I was asked the same question: acqua con o sin gas?

Con, please.

Now an official fizzy water addict, here is my definitive list of the best seltzers money can buy.

1. San Pellegrino

Nobody beats the Italians when it comes to food…or beverages.

San Pellegrino mineral water was first produced in 1395 in Lombardy, Italy. Sold for over 600 years, this fizzante fiend takes the number one place on my list. Plus, even Leonardo Da Vinci himself is said to have tasted this miraculous water at its original production site in 1509.

2. Polar Seltzer Water

Yum. Try Cranberry Clementine, Lime, and Black Cherry.

3. Perrier

This French brand is perfectly carbonated and comes in a distinctive green bottle. Enjoy with a baguette. Oui Oui.

4. Poland Springs

Poland Springs is available at any grocery store and is generally among the most affordable of the seltzers. My new flavor addiction: Raspberry Lime.

5. La Croix

La Croix, you have my heart. Your cans are cute too.

DEAD LAST: Spindrift

Dear Spindrift: you lose fizz within 20 minutes of opening. My fizzy heart weeps.
