We don't drink soda in our home and primarily drink water. However, every now and then it is nice to have something a little different. This recipe is one I made up for Thanksgiving but it is great anytime of the year. My husband thought it tasted somewhat like a fine wine. I don't know how true that is, since I have never cared for wine. I suppose it might have a wine cooler taste. This recipe does not contain any alcohol but if you were so inclined, you could adjust it nicely. You can make this recipe full strength, as I have below, or you can make it more of a flavored sparkling water by doubling the amount of sparkling mineral water. That is a good way to make it go twice as far and save a little money. You can use club soda for this but if you do, make sure that it does not have any added sugar or corn syrup. I actually found one in the store that had corn syrup. Also it's simply filtered water it could have chlorine and/or fluoride which can be dangerous. Google it if you're interested. Mercola has good articles. So, that is just something to be aware of. This recipe can be made sugar-free, other than existing sugar in the fruit juice, by using stevia and birch xylitol. Enjoy!
Sparkling Pomegranate Zinger1 medium to large lemon, juiced
12 oz pomegranate juice
12 drops lemon stevia
2 to 3 tsp xylitol or sugar or 3 to 4 packets of stevia
25 oz sparkling mineral water, chilled
In a pitcher or jar, combine the lemon juice, pomegranate juice, lemon stevia drops, and sweetener. Stir or shake to combine and dissolve the sweetener. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Right before serving add the chilled sparkling mineral water and give it a gentle stir or brief shake to combine. Pour and serve immediately. Makes approximately 4 servings of 9.5 oz to 10 oz each.
