During the long and hot summer, it is so important to stay hydrated. In an effort at better health, I have been trying very hard to wean myself off of cola. (I wish somebody would make a patch for that!) I drink as much water as I can, but sometimes I want a little more flavor with hardly any effort or extra calories. Make some Easy and Refreshing Blueberry Spritzers.
Easy and Refreshing Blueberry Spritzers
This fizzy drink uses cold club soda, blueberries and just a few drops of water enhancer.
Tip#1: Do your blueberries sink to the bottom when adding them to drinks? Just pop them into the freezer for a few minutes and they will float.
Tip # 2: Prepare a bit of the flavored water and pour it into an ice cube tray. That way as the cubes melt on a hot day you won’t be left with a watered down drink!
My family loves to create other flavor combinations too. I also freeze pure lemon juice then add the cubes to plain water, cola, or use them whenever a recipe calls for it. Raspberries in plain water taste fabulous in lemonade.
Pour yourself a glass, add a fun striped straw and enjoy!
What is your go-to summer beverage?
Laura
Water or iced tea with lemon! Nothing better than really strong tea made in a glass pitcher and ready to pour from the fridge.
Sounds and looks DIVINE, esp for this Florida girl.
Must try.
This would be a great beverage to serve at a 4th of July party. My annual 4th party isn't happening this year since Dear and I will be across the pond but I'm book marking this for the future.
Such a pretty drink. I like plain tap water that has been chilled in a glass jug with stems of mint and sliced lemon. So refreshing!
I agree with Ellen that this would be a great 4th of July drink. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite go to summer drink… probably a green smoothie with strawberry and banana and LOTS of ice in it. We go through bananas so quickly when it's hot because I love them.
Thanks for the recipe!
Oh, this really does sound so refreshing. I need to get off the cola habit. This is one to try.
I am preparing this over the weekend, Laura as I too am drinking as much water as possible this summer. I had not seen the MIO FIT before.
