If you're like me and trying to drink less sugary soda but still want something bubbly and fun, I've got you! I've been making my own fruit sparkling water at home for a while now, and it's honestly such a game-changer.
It's super easy, tastes amazing, and you can mix and match based on your mood. Want something zesty? Done. Something sweet and floral? Got it.
Today I'm sharing 5 of my favorite fruit sparkling water combos that are refreshing, pretty, and totally guilt-free โœจ Let's jump in!

๐Ÿ‹ 1. Lemon + Mint

This one's a total classic. I just slice up half a lemon, add a few fresh mint leaves (crush them a bit to release the oils), and top it off with chilled sparkling water. It tastes like a spa day in a glass โ€” super clean and refreshing.
Tip: Use cold sparkling water and let it sit for 5โ€“10 minutes before drinking for extra flavor.

๐Ÿ“ 2. Strawberry + Basil

Sounds fancy, right? But it's really just strawberries and fresh basil leaves. Slice up 2โ€“3 strawberries, toss in 2 basil leaves, and pour in your fizzy water. The sweet and slightly peppery combo is so unique and refreshing!
Tip: Muddle the berries a little to get that natural sweetness going.

๐ŸŠ 3. Orange + Blueberry

This one feels super summery! I add a few orange slices (leave the peel on for extra zing) and a small handful of blueberries. The color is gorgeous, and the taste is juicy and fruity without being too sweet.
Optional: Add a tiny squeeze of lime juice if you like a little kick ๐Ÿˆ

๐Ÿฅ 4. Kiwi + Lime

Tart meets tropical! Peel and slice one kiwi, and squeeze in half a lime. The combo is bright, slightly tangy, and perfect for hot days. Sometimes I freeze kiwi slices to use as "ice cubes" โ€” double win!
Fun twist: Add chia seeds if you like some texture (and extra fiber ๐Ÿ’ช)

๐Ÿ‘ 5. Peach + Raspberry

This is my go-to when I want something a little sweet but still light. A few peach slices and 3โ€“4 raspberries create the perfect balance. I usually let this one infuse for 10โ€“15 minutes โ€” it's worth the wait!
Bonus tip: If you don't have fresh fruit, frozen works just fine!
