  • So hydrating & nourishing!

    Such a quality product. It only took 1 week to see a big difference to my baby’s skin, everywhere! His skin is remarkably smoother to touch and he is less irradiated, especially on his legs. So happy to have found this product and so is bubs! Will continue to use and help spread the word to other mummys.

  • Nourishing and hydrating

    I really loved using this cleansing oil on my toddler and myself. My daughter gets little bumps on her skin and it really seemed to help with that. It was also very nourishing on my very dry skin. Packaging was also good, the pump bottle made it easy to use. Would recommend!

  • During flare-ups, this oil makes bub comfortable and cheerful!

    We have been using this cleansing oil for a couple of weeks and we can already see the difference in our baby’s skin. She has eczema-prone skin and I was initially wary of putting stuff on her skin for fear of making her flare-ups worse. However, whenever we use this cleansing oil, I notice how it gently cleanses my baby’s skin without further stripping its natural oils; leaves her skin soft and supple; and most importantly, makes her comfortable by reducing her skin’s itchiness and soothing its redness.

    It’s amazing how, during flare-ups, she goes from being irritable to cheerful after using this!I further read about the I-Modulia complex and saw the more than decades’ worth of hard work that went into developing it – no wonder this cleansing oil works remarkably well for sensitive skin!

    Apart from being great at dissolving impurities but still leaving the skin nourished, I like the tear-free formula which is equally important for me. Thank you so much for letting us try this wonderful cleansing oil – we simply cannot wait to try other products from the range.

  • Great product

    I’ve been using the Avene cleansing oil on my daughter and have noticed a reduction in her dry patches especially behind her knees and elbows. I don’t usually use a wash on her face but thought I’d give this a go. Overall her skin is softer and she doesn’t seem to be itching like she used to. I would recommend this product to others.

    I am very happy that finally I found the product that works on my daughter and husband. I have noticed the change after the first use. My daughter and husband has a very dry skin and even after using very good body wash and moisturiser they still get dry itchy skin but thankfully this product has done a great job. Sometimes I add the product on bath and it works perfectly fine.

    Suitable for very dry, itchy & eczema prone skin is a real plus and suits all family members. A very gentle fragrance-free oil (although I think adding a scent would be a bonus) that helps nourish the different skin styles to prevent dryness.Leaves skin feeling fresh, soft, less irritated and no tightness felt after oil is rinsed off.

  • Very impressed

    My little man has sensitive skin and everything seems to dry his skin out BUT not Avène XeraCalm! We noticed a difference after the first wash. There was no dry, flakey and most importantly itchy skin after washing with this. After a week of using it we noticed how hydrated and smooth our little man’s skin was becoming! Very happy with how this product performs will be purchasing again!

If you thought the ready-to-drink world had already peaked, think again. Monsutā has dropped not one, but two seriously impressive additions to the lineup, and both make cracking open a can a moment to savour.

As the Best SIPS Monsutā review team uncovered when they put the two new sips to the test, Premium Highball and Purple Grape Chūhai may be worlds apart in flavour, but both nail that sweet spot between easy and elevated.

Whisky, made effortless

Monsutā Premium Highball Whisky, Citrus & Soda Highball is a crisp, clean and clever twist on mixed whisky drinks that perfectly suits the Australian climate.

“For someone who won’t usually reach for whisky, this premixed whisky is a lovely surprise. It is delicious and refreshing, greatly balanced with the citrus flavour and the bubbly soda. What a great alternative at our recent BBQ. Our guests enjoyed it and thought it was a nice change! Will be a hit in our household party this summer!”

Other fans have been quick to praise the drink’s balance between alcohol content and its refreshing flavour profile.

“Punchy but not over the top with alcohol content, the balance between the citrus and the whiskey flavour is spot on. Perfect for a “one and done” sort of person or someone who wants to sit on a drink and watch some form of entertainment. Leaves a good flavour in the mouth afterwards.”

Man holding a can of Monsuta Premium Highball.
True whisky taste with a dash of citrus.

For the whisky lovers who are dubious about enjoying their favourite spirit in an RTD format, consider your worries gone. Monsutā uses quality Japanese whisky for an authentic flavour that speaks for itself.

“Tried the Monsuta Whisky & Soda recently and honestly didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. It’s light, smooth and actually tastes like real whisky, not that artificial flavour some premix drinks have. The balance is spot on, not too sweet or too strong, just clean and really easy to drink. I had mine straight from the can and it was perfect after a hot day. Definitely one I’ll be keeping in the fridge this summer.”

Personality-packed!

While The Premium Highball has all the hallmarks of a classic warm-weather sip, Monsutā Purple Grape Chūhai is a true extrovert, with big flavour that’s impossible to miss. But it’s definitely not all sweetness in this sip.

“I really had no idea what to expect from these drinks but when I first opened the can I was hit with the smell of grape. The flavour reminded me of grape hubba bubba and it wasn’t overly sweet. The vodka, shochu and soda blend perfectly to create a refreshing, delicious drink which I will definitely purchase again.”

“When I first opened the can, I noticed a very pleasant grape aroma. Upon tasting it, the grape flavour really stood out and it reminded me of hubba bubba. I liked that the grape flavour wasn’t overly sweet, making the drink enjoyable rather than sickly.”

Man and woman trying Monsuta premixed alcoholic drinks.
Your fridge called – it wants these!

And everyone is raving about the punch it packs!

“Normally, I don’t enjoy grape-flavoured drinks, but I was shocked at how delicious and easy this was to drink. It was super crisp and refreshing and had the perfect amount of grape flavour that wasn’t too overpowering and sweet. Considering this drink is 7.3% alcohol, it packs the perfect punch that leaves you wanting more. Would definitely recommend this drink to all my friends!”

Both ready for your fridge – now!

Fans have spoken and given this duo an average of 4.05 out of 5 stars on their reviews. So if you’re an RTD lover chasing something fresh, give these cans a crack and taste for yourself what all the fuss is about.

Find and Monsutā Premium Highball and Monsutā Purple Grape Chūhai at Dan Murphy’s for $26.99 per four-pack or $131.99 for a case of 24.

  • I wasn’t picked for this trial – what a shame – but it sounds quite tasty. I’m someone who likes to nurse a drink for a while (mostly because I don’t drink a lot in terms of quantity) and savor the drink. These sound like great options for drinkers like me.
