Blackberry Soda

July 25, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 4 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Last weekend my Husband and I went for a drive on route 88 in Northern California.  We came across a town called Clements.  There wasn’t much there, but we drove by a fruit stand called Clements Ridge and I screamed turn around, turn around.  He did and when we went up to this little market there was an abundance of freshly picked produce.  They has homemade pot pies, desserts, sandwiches and even olive oil, honey, nuts and of course fruit and vegetables.  I saw a bunch of beautiful blackberries.  The owner of the stand said we just picked them fresh this morning.  He also informed me that blackberry season is pretty much over.  Oh no, I thought.  So I picked up the remaining blackberries that they had.  They are sweet and very dark in color.  I gave one to my husband and I said now this is what a blackberry tastes like.  Funny, we buy produce in the store, but nothing has the taste like in season, freshly picked produce.  He was actually shocked on this is how a blackberry tastes.  So the owner packed up my blackberries and off they went with me.  I ate most of them straight from the carton, but I had a few left and I wanted to preserve them, so I decided to make homemade Blackberry Soda.  The soda came out beautifully and it is so easy to make.

Blackberry Soda

The soda has a nice sweet blackberry taste.  I was quite impressed.  The color of the soda tuned out to be a very dark purple color.  It kind of reminds me of the color of grape juice.  I gave up drinking soda over 5 years ago, it’s actually been longer,  I don’t even remember.  I don’t miss soda, and it was one thing I could give up easily, which was pretty good since I used to drink Diet Coke like it was going out of style.  The Blackberry Soda brought me back to childhood days when my Mom used to buy generic fruit flavor soda.  The Blackberry Soda is sweet and bubbly and when you crave those little bubbles, this is the perfect soda to drink.  It’s guilt free, low-calorie and a breeze to make.

Blackberry Soda


To make the syrup, I took 2 cups blackberries, 1/4 cup fine sugar and a 1/4 cup water and blended it in a blender.  The I put a fine sieve over a bowl and pushed the black berries through.  I came up with about a 1 1/4 cups of blackberry syrup.  You must be careful, blackberries stain.  I had purple fingernails!  Not too pretty.  🙂

Blackberry Soda

To make the soda part, I added about 3 tablespoons of blackberry syrup in a glass, added ice and filled the rest of the glass with club soda.  Add a straw, some more blackberries for garnish and you have a light summer drink to refresh the taste buds.

Blackberry Soda

I wanted to tell you the blackberry syrup is also great on top of yogurt, ice cream, pancakes and more.  It tastes so good.  Trust me, you will love having this syrup in the refrigerator.

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

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?
