How to Make a Cranberry Raspberry Spritzer with SodaStream

Quick answer

To make a cranberry raspberry spritzer, carbonate cold water with your SodaStream, then add SodaStream Classics Cranberry & Raspberry Zero Sugar Drink Mix. Stir gently and serve over ice.

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1. Chill your water: Fill a SodaStream carbonating bottle with cold water from the refrigerator. Cold water absorbs carbon dioxide better than warm water, giving you a crisper fizz. Using room-temperature water will result in weaker carbonation.
2. 2. Carbonate the water: Attach the bottle to your SodaStream machine and press the carbonating button in short bursts until you reach your preferred fizz level. Stop before the pressure release valve activates. Over-carbonating can cause foaming when you add the drink mix.
3. 3. Add the drink mix: Remove the bottle from the machine, unscrew the cap, and pour in 1 to 2 tablespoons of SodaStream Classics Cranberry & Raspberry Zero Sugar Drink Mix. Start with less and adjust to taste. Adding too much mix can overpower the cranberry raspberry flavor and make the drink too sweet.
4. 4. Stir gently: Use a long spoon to stir the mixture slowly. Avoid shaking, as that can release the carbonation and cause the drink to go flat quickly. Vigorous stirring or shaking will reduce the bubbles.
5. 5. Serve over ice: Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the spritzer over the ice. Garnish with fresh cranberries or a lime wedge if desired. Adding the spritzer to warm glasses without ice will make it go flat faster.
