Drink your Fruits and Vegetables!
Sparkling water becomes instantly more exciting with the addition of fresh berries, fruit slices and chunks of melon. Let’s get creative with these refreshing combinations!
- Strawberry Basil- Mix fresh strawberry slices and a few basil leaves in a glass. Top with sparkling water and a squeeze of lime.
