Although I don’t drink alcohol, I do enjoy indulging in a sparkling beverage at festive events.
This little fruit based treat below is perfect for adults and children on special occasions. My boys love it, as do I. Here, I use pineapple juice, though feel free to use any juice of your choice and garnish with your favorite citrus or other fruits.

Make sure to use organic fruit juice from a bottle or fresh from a juicer for better flavor and a more nutrient dense drink.

What a great idea! Having the ability to make your own mixture sounds like it would lead to all kinds of wonderful combinations. I have recently become enamored with a sparkling Swedish drink they sell at Ikea called Kristian Regale Have you ever heard of it or tried it?

This is such an easy and fun treat for us no-sugar or alcohol people (well I don’t know about you, Elana but I can’t have alcoholic beverages)! I was just looking at those “Izze” drinks made from juice concentrate and sparkling water and I thought to myself… I could make this myself at home with fresh juice! And you’ve already done it! So I now I know it will work :-)
I appreciate the time you take to share your recipes, it’s really encouraging to know there are others out there eating the way I do and trying to find treats to enjoy that won’t leave you hurting later. Thank you!

This mix sounds lovely. I am always looking for simple, but tasty and healthy beverages for our support group meetings. Will try this for our next meeting–thanks!
Jayn says

How many will this serve?

LOL! My daughter ‘invented’ a similar drink this weekend. She mixed her lemon/lime selzter with her apple juice. I thought it would taste bad but it came out great!
