Homemade Soda: Grape, Pear and Honey natural soda #recipe

I have been trying hard to kick the soda habit and am down to a once a week Diet Coke when I am at work. Not that I have cut soda out of my diet completely…oh NO! I am far too addicted to that sweet and fizzy goodness! However, I have transitioned from artificial ickiness to homemade goodness! I love my Soda Stream but if you don’t have one you can buy the seltzer water at the grocery store for this recipe. I got the recipe from The Artisan Soda Workshop: 75 Homemade Recipes from Fountain Classics to Rhubarb Basil, Sea Salt Lime, Cold-Brew Coffee and Much Much More

which I got to review. This soda is only lightly sweet and will appeal to more grownup tastes. I was really impressed with how well you could taste both the pear AND the grape in this recipe. If you want a stronger soda just add more syrup than called for.

  1. I’d love to try this as I think I’d really enjoy it. We don’t drink much soda but I get tired of drinking tea and juice. I’ll give this one a try.

  3. This sounds deliciously refreshing. We don’t drink soda here except for the occasional natural root beer or organic soda when we have some extra bills. I do flavor seltzer water often just with lemons and limes but this would be a fun holiday drink.

    • I do a lot of natural sodas too which is why I really liked this one. I always wonder what they put in regular sodas, although I do splurge on a Diet Coke (my weakness!) once a week.
