50+ Must Try Sparkling Water Cocktails

Last updated on March 25th, 2019 at 02:54 pm

If you are looking for ways to cut calories or add a little sparkle to your poolside sipping, check out all these sparkling water cocktails and adult beverages!

I was never really a fan of sparkling water because I felt that you can make your own infused water. Plus the price tag didn’t seem worth it to me at the time but that all changed when we moved to Arizona. Staying hydrated is a challenge and anything I could do to make drinking water easier is a plus.

Enter sparkling water!!

After trying a few different flavors, and adding them to my cocktails, I was hooked. So was Brooks! Now I try all the new flavors and brands that come out and keep track of my favorites, and try new flavor combinations for cocktails.

Types of Sparkling Water to Try

Just take me to the Sparkling Water Cocktail Recipes Already!

If you’d rather skip my (very helpful, I think) tips and tricks, essential cooking info, and similar recipe ideas – and get straight to this delicious easy Sparkling Water Cocktails recipe – simply scroll to the bottom of the page where you can find the printable recipe card.

There is no shortage of brands of sparkling water on the market right now. LaCroix started the flavored sparkling water mania but many of others have jumped in to join the frenzy. Including the generic store brands! I have one or two that I tend to lean toward when purchasing it, but please try as many as you kind to find your favorite.

I find that many different brands have the same flavors available but one flavor might taste best with brand A but another flavor from Brand A might not be as good as Brand B. An example being a generic sparkling water from the store has more coconut flavor than Bubly, but Bubly’s lime flavor is better that the generic.

Test and try as many as you can and then check the sale papers so you can be prepared to stock up! I currently have 27 8-packs of sparkling water in the guest bedroom:)
