Looking to move away from sugary sodas and empty calories this summer? You can make plenty of drinks at home with low-calorie ingredients like zero-sugar club soda. Here are some low-sugar drinks with soda you can sip on all summer!
Simply add a squeeze of fresh lemon, lime, or orange juice to sparkling water for a refreshing and low-calorie soda alternative. Garnish with citrus slices for an extra burst of flavour.
Muddle fresh mint leaves and cucumber slices in a glass, then top with sparkling water. Add a splash of lime juice and a few drops of stevia or a light sweetener for a refreshing and calorie-conscious beverage.
Mix freshly grated ginger with lemon juice and a touch of honey or agave syrup in a glass. Top with sparkling water and stir well to combine. Garnish with a lemon wedge for added flair.
Blend a handful of mixed berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries) with a splash of water until smooth. Strain the mixture to remove seeds, then pour into a glass and top with sparkling water. Garnish with a few whole berries for visual appeal.
Steep your favorite herbal tea (such as chamomile, hibiscus, or mint) in hot water, then let it cool. Once cooled, pour the tea over ice and top with sparkling water for a light and flavorful soda alternative.
Mix equal parts of unsweetened pineapple juice and coconut water in a glass. Top with sparkling water and stir gently to combine. Garnish with a pineapple wedge or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
Combine a splash of vanilla extract or the seeds from a vanilla bean with a light sweetener (such as stevia or agave syrup) in a glass. Add sparkling water and stir until well mixed. Serve over ice for a guilt-free treat reminiscent of classic cream soda.
