Hi, hello! Just me over here, sitting in the newfound spring sunshine and sipping on a homemade Fruit Flavored Sparkling Water which is a little fruity, a lot bubbly, and wonderfully refreshing.
Which is basically what I want my entire spring/summer to look like and I cannot apologize for it. These fruit flavored sparkling waters pair with warm weather like oreos pair with milk.
And while I love the store bought version, please tell me I am not the only one who goes through a four-pack in one day? I needed a solution to fuel my love for the bubbles with my desire to not spend my entire life savings on fruit flavored sparkling water. You know?
Now, I almost feel embarrassed for sharing this recipe. Can it even be called a recipe when it's so easy to make? Jury is still out on that one, but I know we need these Fruit Flavored Sparkling Water like we need summer, so here comes the recipe (or non recipe??).
Grab a glass. Fill it with a splash of fruit juice. Top it with sparkling water. Maybe give it an extra squeeze of citrus to really make the flavors zing. Sip and enjoyyyyyyyyy.

youI have been eying since last November.
