Sparkly juice November 13, 2007

Filed under: Beverage, Uncategorized — By:Melodie @ 9:04 pm

This is a fun tasting juice that can replace pop. It’s still fizzy, but doesn’t have the caffeine or citric acid. :-)

 Needed:

1 can unsweetened frozen juice concentrate

Club Soda

 

Mix frozen juice with club soda, following the directions on the can. The club soda replaces water.

 

*note: keeps like kool-aid, but the longer it sits the less fizzy it gets. best to consume within 1-2 days.
