How do I make strawberry lemonade with seltzer?

To prepare your sparkling drink, you must mix fruit juice or powdered drink mix with the carbonated water.

Give them time to soak the flavor if you use fresh fruits.

It’s best to use a seltzer with natural ingredients like Vintage Seltzer* Original since that will make your drink taste better and not too carbonated.

*According to Vintage Seltzer, the “natural flavors” may be an essence, extract, or oil from the natural fruit listed on the label.

Next, refrigerate the drink until chill and serve cold.

Notes:

• If you use frozen strawberries with syrup, reduce sugar intake as this syrup will have sugar.
• If you use a bigger cup, use the entire can!
• If you use a lemon flavor seltzer, use less powder lemonade.

Remember that this is made to your personal liking. Some people like it more lemony flavored, and others like it more strawberries. You can’t mess this recipe up!
