Cherry Lime Soda

July 12, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hello, hello!

Most of my life, I drank soda, Coke to be exact, then I found out how many calories were in Coke so I switched to Diet Coke.  I drank about a 12 pack a week, for years!  Then about 4 years ago, my co-worker and I made a bet about who could go the longest without drinking any kind of soda.  I won the bet, he gave in at about 1 day, me, it’s been four years and I have been soda free.  Not one drop of any kind of soda has touched my lips!  I am very proud of that!  That was probably one of the best bets I have ever made.  As the years passed, I never missed it, matter in fact I don’t really drink to many carbonated drinks at all because it gives me a stomach ache.  I have the tendency to drink my drinks way to quick.  I do it with hot or cold drinks, so for that reason I tend to stick to water, except for frappes, smoothies and the occasional fun drink.  Speaking of fun drinks I have a healthy, no sugar, all natural soda drink for you today.  I have made you Cherry Lime Soda.

Cherry Lime Soda

I never had any intent on making soda, but I had a bottle of 100% Cherry Juice from Trader Joe’s that I used for my Skinny Cherry Milkshake, and I wasn’t sure what else to do with it, so I thought why not soda?  I have to admit TJ’s Cherry Juice is pretty strong, so I had to add a packet of stevia to it and you don’t need much in this recipe.  Since I made my 100th stop at TJ’s this week, I picked up some sparkling mineral water to use as my carbonated soda.  Mineral water is a little healthier than carbonated water, since it’s natural, where as carbonated water is tap water with air put in it to make bubbles.

Cherry Lime Soda


When making this recipe, be sure to taste test your cherry juice before adding the sugar.  Not all cherry juice is the same, mine was not sweet at all.  I also added a little bit of lime to give it that Sprite effect.  The drink came out beautifully and my Husband loved it!  He drank two of them this evening, and matter in fact I wasn’t even done photographing my drink when he finished his.  He really loved it, especially since he is a huge cherry fan.  He said it tastes almost like Cherry Crush.

Cherry Lime Soda

This drink is totally healthy and guilt-free.  Perfect for serving to kids or having for yourself.  It quenches your thirst and is so refreshing on a hot summers day.  The sugar in the nutritional stats is natural sugar.  I made sure that TJ’s didn’t add any additional sugar to the juice.  You have to watch out for that, so read your labels!

Cherry Lime Soda

I guess it’s pretty apparent that I like to make drinks.  I think it’s because I live in the dessert and the air is always dry.  I seem to not be able to get enough liquid in me.  Plus my Husband and I are drink people.  He’s always buying vitamin waters, orange drinks, ice tea, and lemonade.  I tend to stick to the drinks I share with you and water!  Oh one thing I have to share with you is my Husband said this drink would be very good with a pinch of grapefruit vodka in it.  Just saying.  I’m not a vodka person, but he claims it would be good, so if you want to spike your drink, that is his recommendation.

Well that’s it for me today!!

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I used to be a big soda drinker as well. Now the commercial stuff all tastes like poison to me but I love homemade healthy versions such as this!

    I love the cherry lime combo!!! SO GOOD! I haven’t had Coke in probably over 10 years. I’m happy with water. 🙂 BUT, I do love me some of these homemade soda drinks. I make them all the time in the summer.

The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?
