Homemade Grapefruit Soda

I am dangerously crushing on sweet Texas grapefruit at the moment! Iโ€™m obsessed! ย 

My childhood summers in Mexico consisted of heavy amounts of dulces y soda. From Mexico Coke (MexiCoke) to Jarritos with their wide vast of flavors. I inhaled them. Of course I was alot younger then and my health was not on the top of my priority list.
Fast forward to today. I am a wife, mother of two and cherish every day I am given on this earth.

Soda has been canned.ย  Problem is some days I crave soda. A Bubbly, sweetย potion toย quench my Texas taste buds and not to mention would go great with a plate of tacos or juicy burger. Whatโ€™s a gal to do?

Make homemade soda!! Yes!! Itโ€™s easy and the best part is YOU are in control. No added sugar, sodium, fillers or artificial flavors.

In Texas we are in the midst ofย grapefruit season, but any fresh fruit juice can be used.
Think of the possibilities:ย  Watermelon, mango, lemon, lime, cucumber, honeydew, orange, cantaloupe, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry etc. etc.

I can’t wait toย sipย watermelon soda this summer. Enjoy!

    This is so brilliant. My husband and I buy tons of natural fruit flavored (unsweetened) soda in cans, we’re addicted to the stuff, and it’s been in the back of my mind to try to make it myself—thanks for the inspiration!!

    I love this grapefruit soda! I can’t wait to try it! Last year, it was so hot, the only thing that got me through the heat was Agua de Toronja. I bet this is even more refreshing. ๐Ÿ™‚
