It’s always been my beverage of choice throughout the day but in the last couple of months, I felt like I needed a bit of variety and added seltzer water to the rotation.Sorrel Lemonade-1-5 On my “diet days” I would also add it to my juices to water it down a bit; there’s something about the bubbles that makes me feel like I’m cheating when I’m not.  Sorrel Lemonade-1Since I’m always looking to cut calories where I can, I picked up a few boxes of Canada Dry Sparkling Seltzer Water at Walmart; it’s all natural with no sweeteners or sodium and has zero calories so it’s the perfect addition with zero guilt! Sorrel Lemonade-1-3 Instead of drinking a full glass of juice, I will pour half and fill the rest with seltzer to create a light spritzer that’s refreshing. I’ve even added a bit of bubbly to my quintessential summer lemonade that I always make when entertaining just to switch things up a bit. I served up a Lime-ade and a Sorrel Lemonade; that’s right, sorrel isn’t for just Christmas! For the Lime-ade I added Lemon Lime sparkling water and I used the Mandarin Orange sparkling water in my Sorrel Lemonade.Sorrel Lemonade-1-4

I had a friend over this past weekend and I served small bites along with the Sorrel Lemonade and Limeade and she loved it! Nothing like girl chat over drinks!
