I am always seeking inspiration for healthy drinks that can be enjoyed by the entire family! I have recently been obsessed with lemonade and make a fresh glass at least five times a day. After a month or so of enjoying just plain old lemonade, I decided it was time to change it up a bit and attempt something new. The wonderful world wide web eventually led me to a recipe for homemade sparkling watermelon lemonade. During my weekly grocery trip to Kroger, I came across this fabulous brand called Vintage Sparkling Water and just knew it would be the perfect way to add variation to my new recipe. Vintage Sparkling Water has limited distribution in Kroger and King Soopers in Atlanta, Denver, and Nashville, so make sure to check the out product locator page where you can search by zip code.

It has been awhile since I enjoyed a sparkling water and I was a bit curious about the difference between seltzer and sparkling water. Vintage Sparkling Water and seltzers both offer up some pretty awesome key benefits: zero calories, sugar-free, no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors, no high-fructose corn syrup, and are made from natural fruit flavors. But to put in plain and simple, the difference between the two is the amount of those happy little bubbles that we all love and enjoy throughout our beverage. If you are one of those people (such as myself) whom loves your drink overflowing with bubbles, then your best option is a Vintage Sparkling Water!
