All natural ingredients, no refined sugar or syrup. OR alcohol. Not that I am discouraging you from adding it! Everyone deserves to enjoy a little tipsy sipsy from time to time.
Sweetened naturally from the strawberries and pineapple. Just the way a drink should be. Do away with those refined sugar filled drinks! You’re not doing your summer body any good. It’s bikini season after all, right?? 😉
GREAT FOR PARTIES AND GATHERINGS
This beverage is great for any party or gathering as it comes together easily and is aesthetically pleasing with the pop of pink, red, yellow and green present when served. Making it a great drink if you’re looking to impress a crowd of friends and family.
I prefer to serve the Sparkling Strawberry Pineapple Limeade in a pitcher packed full of ice and chopped up strawberries. Don’t forget to serve each drink with a skewer of fruit and a slice of lime!
This recipe makes four 1 1/2 cup servings which will fill up to four 15 ounce glasses – with ice and chopped strawberries added. But you can easily double or triple this recipe if needed!
ALCOHOL FREE & SUGAR FREE
This recipe is great alternative to an alcoholic beverage during celebratory times. The sparkling water helps to give this drink some flare. Or perhaps that’s just me?
So if you’re trying to watch your caloric intake, but still want to feel as though you’re celebrating a holiday or even simply life in general – this is the beverage to try! It is alcohol and sugar free, which makes it the perfect indulgence. Let’s not forget that it is also kid-friendly! Win win!
Is it just me or is there simply way too much sugar in summer beverages?? I have seen recipes for pitchers of tea or lemonade that contain 2-3 CUPS of sugar! Wowzers! I don’t know about you, but I prefer to intake my sugar in better ways.
Such as a chocolate chip cookie, a slice of cake, or the entire outside edges of a pan of brownies. JUST KIDDING… or am I?? 😉

To Make:

- Blend until the fruit has been fully pureed.
- Pour the pureed juice through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. The goal is to remove some of the seeds and pulp. I find it's easiest to use a cheesecloth secured over the pitcher.

- Slowly pour in the sparkling water.
To Serve:
- To 1 of four 15 ounce glasses add:Ice1/4 cup chopped strawberries (or pineapple chunks)1 1/2 cups of the Sparkling Strawberry Pineapple Limeade
