Spritz'

I am always on the lookout for how to get myself to hydrate. Water is nutritionally best but sometimes I need something more interesting.

Think bubbly water and juice and experiment. Here are a few ideas.

Make Hybiscus tea..from health food stores..chill and use half Pellegrino and half tea..2 thin slices juice orange and a sprig of mint..muddle briefly with a bit of ice..

Mix 1/4 pomegranate juice and 3/4 bubbly water

Use a bit of flavored syrup and bubbly water..I like linden flowers. go easy on the syrup as it is full of sugar but a tablespoon or so is enough to transform a large glass of water into a nice little alcohol free cocktail

Experiment with Verjus..this is the unfermented grape juice which if fermented it would be wine. It is a bit tart and added to sparkling water makes and excellent sophisticated alcohol free aperetif
