Carbonation gets a bad wrap since becasue in my opinion, the textures are linked to sodas. However, carbonation itself isn’t anything bad (unless you have alkaline issues).
So in our family, we really enjoy experimenting with carbonation and seeing what kind of bubbly drinks we can create! This recipe was a product of such an experiment.
I happened to have a glass of carbonated mineral water while I was cooking and thought “I wonder how Yuzu would taste in here”. So I dropped a couple of drops in there was pleasantly surprised refreshing combination of the bubbles and Yuzu’s taste profile!
The drink is 100% low-carb/keto ready. You can have as many glasses as you want to keep you hydrated and refreshed during those hot summer seasons, so enjoy this crisp refreshing drink that expresses hints of grapefruit mixed with a subtlety of lemon sweetness and bubbles delivering a balanced finish.
For all of our carbonated drinks, we use a SodaStream. If you like carbonation, we definitely recommend it. We used to just buy sparkling mineral water from Trader Joe’s & Costco, but after doing the math, we concluded that we could save a lot of money investing in a SodaStream.
They are super easy to use (will provide step-by-step instructions below) and best of all, you can carbonate whatever you like: water, mineral water, spring water, smart water, etc! You’ll also need some Yuzu.
Now, let’s get started!
