Cranberry Raspberry Spritzers

Today, besides this yummy spritzer recipe, I’m sharing another awesome gift idea! I tried so hard to keep this gift a secret from my hubs but he has a way of getting into my brain…

The thing is, hubby and I are completely obsessed with sparkling water. He loves his with just some fresh limes, and I love mine mixed with a little juice or sweet & sour. So when I told him about the SodaStream Power Automatic Sparkling Water Maker, he got very excited! I had every intention of surprising him with it as an early Christmas gift, but he has a way of uncovering all my secrets, and sadly I am a terrible liar. All I could do was throw a bow on it and set it up nicely on our kitchen counter so it was the first thing he saw coming home. Fortunately, despite the lack of surprise, he was still excited, and we have been making our own sparkling water with it every day since it came into our previously dull lives 😉 haha.

I really am in love with it, though, especially since it makes it easier to keep my chronically-parched self hydrated, and is a nice reprieve from diet sodas and such. It’s fun playing with SodaStream’s Sparkling Drink Mixes, as well as creating our own recipes. And here is the very first recipe I’ve made with it: a simple mocktail with muddled raspberries, festive berry-rosemary ice cubes, and cranberry juice perfect for the holidays.

If you’re thinking about gifting it (to yourself maybe), check out any special offers they have going on with the SodaStream Power HERE. Ours was shipped from the site, but I’ve seen it in stores like Bed, Bath and Beyond as well. So who on your list would love this? Check out more deets on the SodaStream Power here.

    Those drinks look amazing! I am always dehydrated, so maybe I should look into this (water just doesn't appeal to me haha). Thank you for sharing! My hubby also finds out all of his gifts too! It looks super cute with the bow though, and you get to enjoy it earlier 🙂 I hope you have a great rest of your week! xx
