I make fancy water-based drinks for myself. I use a 36oz Tupperware water bottle. Here's today's drink, we're making a tea.
Half a bottle of cold-brewed mint tea. One can sparkling seltzer. 1/2 packet of cran-strawberry juice. Over ice and enjoy your afternoon.
Today's fancy drink.
1/2 cold ginger peach tea & 1/2 cran-peach juice
or
1/3 cold ginger peach tea & 1/3 cran-peach juice & 1/3 water
Would be nice in a glass with a fresh peach, rosemary, and a drizzle of honey.
The first thing you get is the scent of ginger, then it's all peaches. The stronger version is definitely an iced tea, it's strong and delicious. The lighter version is a refreshing mild peachy drink.
Today's fancy drink.
2/3 cucumber lime agua fresca & 1/3 mint tea
This would be great in a glass with cucumber, limes, and mint leaves. Very fancy, very refreshing, very faux mojito.
Today's fancy drink.
1/2 cold elderberry green tea + 1/2 Stur black & blue water + a dash of cold mint tea
The mint gives it a bit of a zing, which I'm loving this week. Otherwise this is a mellow, fruity drink, more a water than a tea.
ETA: Day 2 was 1/2 elderberry tea + 1/2 mint tea, with the Black & Blue stir shot right into the tea. It's very green, fresh, outdoorsy.
Today's fancy drink is also a great hydrator.
In cold water mix Stur Coconut/Pineapple drink mix + one package of true lime or about 1T of lime juice + Buoy rescue salt or a dash of salt.
Today's not so fancy drink is 36oz of sparkling water + 1 package of cran-grape juice. It's basically grape soda. Add some sort of sweet creamer and it's a Purple Cow.
Today's fancy drink
In a 36oz container:
1 part seltzer water + 2 parts cold brewed hibiscus green tea + 1 package of mango/guava kombucha.
By itself the seltzer and hibiscus tea are lovely and very mellow. The extra flavor and extra bubbles from the kombucha give it a little zing.
I'm thinking plastic pitcher at the pool, but this one would also be stunning in a clear glass with some fruity and flowery garnishes.
Today's fancy drink is a raspberry lime rickey.
In 36oz of water
Torani raspberry liquid drink enhancer + packet of true lime
Today's fancy drink:
1 can seltzer + 1/2 package mango drink flavoring + 1 package passion fruit boba.
Today's not-so-fancy drink is a salty lemonade. In 36 oz of water: 1 packet of true lemon lemonade and a scoop of Buoy rescue salt.
Today's fancy drink is a surprise to me.
1 pkg Starburst Pink in twice the recommended water + 1 pkg Wyler's Unicorn in twice the recommended water.
It is so very sweet and amazing together. It's like liquid creamy candy. You could easily add your choice of creamer and make this more decadent.
The surprise is because this is not my normal style at all. It's far sweeter than my usual. Diluting it as much as I did takes it just to the edge of too-sweet but doesn't let it go over.
Today's fancy drink.
1 part plain seltzer + 1 part anti-inflammatory juice blend + 1 pkg Wyler's sweetened lime flavor
You need the sweetened lime because the juice has an aftertaste of dirt.
Today's fancy drink is another hydrator for when I need to trick myself into drinking.
In 36oz of water put
1 pkg Sonic ocean water + Buoy rescue salt
Tastes like salt water and spray-on suntan oil.
Today's Fancy Drink:
1 can sparkling blackberry juice + 1 can sparkling water + 1 lemonade packet + 4 oz ginger lemon kombucha
I've been making fancy drinks.
1 part Poppi Raspberry Rose + 1 part The Tea Republic Rosé iced tea
&
1 pkg Wyler's strawberry peach drink mix + 1 pkg ginger ale drink mix + 36 oz cold sparkling or flat water.
I've made a few fancy drinks this week.
The first is easy-peasy, cold brewed mint iced tea over sparkling water. It's perfection for hot days.
The second was coffee with horchata. I thought it would be a great idea, and then I saw Danny Trejo doing it with iced coffee and knew it was a great idea.
The third is a sweet treat for me. Kefir topped with a bit of coconut milk, with a small drop of a coordinating flavor of Stur. Yesterday I used blueberry kefir with Stur blackberry & blueberry flavoring. It's like a melted milkshake. Normally I don't like sweets, so I really have to emphasize that this is sweet, so much sweeter than I usually recommend.
Strawberry kefir + coconut cream + Stur strawberry watermelon. Liquid cake.
Today's fancy drink is
12 oz of sparkling water + 2 oz of Goldthread Rose Glow plant-based tonic + a squirt of lemon.
12 oz sparkling water + 2 oz tart cherry watermelon juice + a dash of Rose Glow. Ah-mah-zing.
I also have Lavender Bliss, Turmeric Radiance, and Hawaiian Ginger, and I have so many ideas of things I want to mix them with. The flavors on these are fantastic, I highly recommend them for your fancy drink making needs.

I had the energy to make a fancy drink!
Strawberry White Chocolate Soda
12 oz can of plain seltzer water + ~1T of strawberry syrup and ~1T of white chocolate syrup. With a fresh strawberry on the edge of the cup, of course.
12 oz Olipop/Poppi ginger ale + 2 12 oz cans sparkling water + 1 pkg True Lemon brand Crispy Apple drink package.
So cold, so crisp. Very Autumnal, so not quite in season, but pleasing.
