Soda Stream it up!

So exciting! I just got a new Soda Stream! Remember the 80's favourite drinks maker? You were probably either one of the lucky kids who had one – or the one who didn’t and dreamed of your very own fizzy-drink factory (I was sadly the latter). Well, now SodaStream is back and it's set to be a must-have once again. 

SodaStream has had a sleek makeover and now comes in a range of modern designs and colours including chrome, red and white that will look great on your kitchen worktop. The new machines encapsulate all the fizzy fun you would expect with a trendy new design you’ll want to have on display. 

Perfect to keep me busy while not drinking. I tested out some new cocktails with the Soda Stream... 

Three Cheers Punch- New Years mocktail

A fruity mix of juicy flavours to welcome the New Year in style.
This delicious drink can be made in a punch bowl, with plenty of chopped fruit to garnish and add even more flavour. 1/2 part lime juice; 1 part orange juice; 2 parts SodaStream; Mango Passionfuit; Plenty of ice and chopped apples, oranges, etc. Ladle the mix from the punch bowl into tea-cups, so the kids can cut a dash with this sophisticated looking New Year treat.

Deck The Halls- Christmas Mocktail
A refreshing, fizzy treat. Fill a tall glass with ice. Top with equal parts SodaStream Apple, and SodaStream Clear Cranberry Raspberry.  Garnish with an orange slice and a string of redcurrants for a Christmas feel.

Both to die for very yummy indeed! Go and buy your self one its made me so happy but then that might be because I never had one the first time round? Either way its great.

SodaStream Facts:

• Did you know that every one litre bottle of SodaStream you make saves three aluminium cans? That means that over 3 years, a family of four could slash their soft-drink-related packaging usage by over 90%

• Each 500ml flavour bottle makes up to 12 litres of fizzy drink, which means no more lugging, and storing heavy cans or bottles and you’ll be saving money as well!

• All SodaStream flavours are low in sugar compared to most other sparkling drinks. The regular flavours have two thirds less sugar than standard "non diet" drinks and the sugar free range tastes great but without the calories

• SodaStream allows you to design your own drink. Choice of flavours, choice of strength and choice of sparkle meaning you’re completely in control

• *Tap water quality in England at Wales is at 99.96%, Scotland – 99.75% and Northern Ireland 99.69% (source: Water UK)
