• 1 1/2 cups Vintage Seltzer Original: The base of our sparkling water, bringing the perfect level of carbonation

• A dash of honey (optional): For natural sweetness and a smooth finish

Step-by-Step: Crafting Your Strawberry Lemonade Sparkling Water

Follow these easy steps to create this effervescent elixir:

1. Prepare the Base:

Start by pouring 1 1/2 cups of Vintage Seltzer Original into a tall glass to set the foundation for an invigorating burst of bubbles.

2. Mix in the Lemonade:

Add 2 tablespoons of powdered lemonade to your seltzer and stir gently. Watch as the zest of lemonade swirls and fizzes, creating a cloud of flavor.

3. Sweeten the Mix:

Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of sugar to balance out the tang, whisking it until it’s completely dissolved. Bask in the sweet aromatics that start to surface.

4. Add the Strawberries:

Toss in 3 spoonfuls of frozen strawberries, and stir the mixture. These frozen delights chill the drink further while releasing their juicy essence.

5. Finish with Honey:

If you fancy a smoother sweetness, finish off with a dash of honey to taste. This natural sweetener melds the flavors with elegance.

6. Garnish and Serve:

Add a few slices of fresh strawberries or a garnish of mint for that insta-worthy presentation that will make your guests or family members ooh and aah.

Pro Tip: Chill your glasses beforehand to keep your strawberry lemonade sparkling water cool longer, making every sip as refreshing as the first.

Recipe Tips to Personalize Your Refreshment

• Tune the Tang: Adjust the lemonade powder to fit your palate. Experiment to find your perfect balance of tart and sweet for a custom-made refreshment.
• Sweetener Swap: Feel free to skip the sugar if you prefer and opt solely for honey, which lends a smoother, natural sweetness.
• Mind the Strawberries: If your frozen strawberries come with syrup, you might want to omit the additional sugar to prevent an overly sweet drink.
• Freshen Up: For an even more authentic and refreshing flavor, squeeze in fresh lemon juice — the ultimate game-changer for lemonade aficionados.
