Sparkling water is a bit of a staple in our house. I don’t do soft drinks, so during the day I drink filtered water but at night, if I’m not having a cocktail or glass of wine I like to switch things up with a glass of sparkling water.  It adds a lovely little fizz that dances on your tongue.

A few years ago, sick of lugging bottles of sparkling water home from the supermarket, I invested in a Sodastream. Once the domain of fizzy soft drinks, not a day goes by where I don’t make a bottle of sparkling water. So when Sodastream asked me to partner with them create some delicious cocktails and mocktails I was more than happy to oblige.

First up I’m sharing an Amaretto Sour cocktail.

If you’ve never had one, you’re in for a treat. An Amaretto Sour is the perfect aperitif  (a cocktail that is usually served to stimulate the appetite before a meal) – a tart and refreshing combination of lemon juice, almond liqueur, sweetener, and ice.

While classic Amaretto Sours don’t call for soda water, I like to add a little sparkling water to mine as well otherwise I find it a bit too strong.  Especially if I’m having one before dinner!

Would you like the chance to win a fabulous new Sodastream Power?

I upgraded to the Sodastream Power, from my old Sodastream. Not only does the new Power model look beautiful, it is so much easier to use. No more screwing in the bottles, they now simply clip in. And it is so much quieter too!

  1. We have an older style SodaStream. It’s so simple to use- my 10 year old makes her own drinks every night.
    I love using sparkling water, mixed with apple juice. Serve it to the kids in fancy plastic glasses- Apple Mocktails for the kids!

  5. I have only used my current soda stream machine for soda water I never ever thought of using it for all the ideas and recipes I have read on this site I have a bit of catching up to do I think so that’s why I would live an upgrade thanks for the opportunity to win one

  6. If I won I would make sugar free diet drinks for my family so that they don’t miss out when we are out and about. Cottees diet Rasberry and apple cordial is delicious in a soda stream as it lemon, lime and bitters SF cordial. I had it at a friends house and would love to be able to make it at home.

  9. I’d love a sodastream so I can make myself and my new fiance an Aperol Spritz! we tasted this amazing drink on our first trip overseas to Italy together this year and fell madly inlove with it. The new sodastream will be an amazing addition to our new kitchen in our little love nest and we’d celebrate by making the delicious drink from our frist holiday!

  10. Oh wow, I never thought of this.

    Well, in that case, if I won the Sodastream, I’d be making coctails every day!

  12. Hi Jennifer, my husband and I drink LOTS of soda water, so much so we buy it in the box. We did consider getting a Soda Stream, but thought the 75cents for 1.25 ltrs was a more economical way to go. Has anyone done the calculations to determine which is the most economical way to go, soda stream or buying it at .75cents for 1.25 ltrs?
    My concoction would be, lemomcello, vodka, scoop of lemon sorbet topped with soda water…..YUM!

    • Kaz, I did the maths a while ago and it did work out cheaper. However, the biggest thing for me, is the reduction in waste as you can simply wash out and reuse the bottles and the fact I don’t need to carry heavy bottles from the supermarket anymore. Those things have definitely made it worth it for me. Anyway, best of luck in the giveaway 🙂

      • Thanks Jennifer, will let my husband know. I agree, much more practicable and less waste. Husband even puts soda water in his nightly port……aquired taste I think…lol

  13. One of my favorite drinks is grapefruit sparkling water. A Sodastream to make unlimited sparkling water in any flavor is a great idea!

  14. I would make my own twist on a Back Forty (bourbon, lemon, maple club soda). Also like to start making unique tonic waters.

  15. Hello Jennifer, I love your website. You create wonderful recipes and your photography is wonderful. I would make a Spritz to remind me of our trip to Italy.

  16. I’d definitely make a gin on ice with elderflower cordial and a twist of lime and topped with soda water. Yum! Our much loved soda stream is making very funny noises, so I’ll have to look into fancy new ones!

  17. I simply adore a refreshing cointreau, lime & soda with mint all year round. I would cherish making my own soda water, & other spritzers, with my very first personal SODA STREAM POWER!

  18. I would make Purple Rain ,in honor of the late, great artist Prince. Looks spectacular & is sure to get you in the mood for dancing!
    1 oz White Rum
    3 dashes Blue Curaçao
    1 oz Peach Schnapps
    1 oz Grenadine
    2 oz Lemonade
    Method: On the rocks
    Glass: Collins
    Recipe:
    Fill the collins glass 3/4 with ice.
    Add peach schnapps, white rum, then grenadine.
    Use a bar spoon (or any spoon with a long handle) to gently lift the grenadine through the ice.
    Top with lemonade to taste, but leave enough room for the next step.
    Once you have mixed, drizzle a small amount of blue curacao down the sides of the glass.
    The blue curacao will fall through the red cocktail leaving a trail of purple clouds. and beautiful gradient between red and blue.

  19. I start my day with a glass of lemon juice topped up with sparkling water – healthy and refreshing

  21. I would make refreshing soda water and add a mixture of slices of fresh citrus fruit. e.g Orange, lemon and grapefruit or any other citrus that is fresh and available. Depending on the fruit I add I would also put some fresh mint into the soda water.

  22. Your Amaretto cocktail sounds wonderful. I would use a SodaStream to make soda water for an Aperol Spritz, which is my favourite summer cocktail.

  24. I’d make something tropical and fruity so I could imagine I’m on a beautiful island holiday somewhere, instead of the reality of shivering away through this cold winter!!

  25. I’m with you Jennifer – I buy sooooo many bottles of soda water, I end up buying them in slabs of 12 bottles before they even get unpacked on the shelf, so being able to fizz up my own water whenever I want would be fantastic. But, I think I would also love to use the Sodastream Power to take me back to my childhood by making that classic kids pub drink – a raspberry soda. I can taste the tart fizziness already!

  26. I enjoy sparkling water so this would be great for my everyday use. I also enjoy making spritz cocktails

  27. I would love a soda stream, we go through so many bottles in our household! I’m getting married in October and a soda based cocktail is on our must-have list so I would be doing lots of cocktail recipe testing – starting with a refreshing lime caprioska! Fresh lime muddled with raw sugar, vodka and topped with lots of bubbly soda water. Perfect for a spring wedding 🙂

    • Congratulations on getting married Lena. My husband and I had a spring wedding (we got married 3 years ago) and it is such a wonderful time of the year to get married. And your lime, raw sugar and vodka cocktail sounds perfect for the weather. My husband and I had mojitos on our wedding day (our favourite cocktail).

      Best of luck in the giveaway!! 🙂

  28. This looks delicious! Love the touch of maple syrup. The first thing I’d make with a Soda Stream would probably be… a sparkling lavender lemonade!

    Reply

  29. Jennifer, your Amaretto Sour Cocktail is perfect for this girl that likes anything but sweet! The flavors look lovely, and I’m thinking they might fit in well on the deck in Wimberley, Texas on vacation 🙂 I’d find all sorts of uses for this Soda Stream, but getting rid of obnoxious plastic bottles would be my top priority! I love sparkling water with a bit of fruit and salt (I have electrolyte imbalance at times). It would be perfect!

  30. Your cocktail sounds delicious! With a Sodastream Power on hand you could also whip up a classic Campari soda any old time. Yum.

  32. Thanks so much for sharing the Amaretto Sour recipe which would be the very first thing I would try with my brand new SodaStream. I also recently had a fantastic drink in Bali that I would love to recreate: homemade ginger syrup, fresh ginger slices, fresh lime and soda water. Though, the best thing about owning a SodaStream would be no longer having to purchase drinks in the plastic bottles, which are sold to us by drink companies, and are destroying our environment.

  33. My current fav cocktail is Pimms, lemon soda and green ginger wine with mint from the garden. A new soda stream would be perfect to make lemon soda using the masses of lemons we have out in the garden

    Reply

  34. Ooh this looks amazing! I even have some amaretto! Definitely gonna have to try this one 🙂
    I love sparkling water with cordial.. I’ve seen a delicious looking syrup of orange and cassia that I’d love to try with the SodaStream 🙂

    Reply

  36. Yum! What WOULDN’T I make is more the question?? First thing on my list would be a lemony lemonade, maybe to add to a vodka or two ?

    Reply

  38. I love the idea of putting sparkling water in your amaretto sour! I saw an Alton Brown recipe for a mint julep with sparkling water awhile back, but I hardly ever have it on hand. That soda stream’s a great idea – I always ignored them because I don’t drink soda!

    Reply

    • I never thought I’d use a SodaStream since I don’t drink soft drink either, but it is perfect for sparkling water. On a hot summers day there is nothing better than a glass of sparkling water with a wedge of lime. 🙂

      • I love Delicious everyday Jennifer. It is totally inspiring and delicious in every way. If I was lucky enough to win I would give it to my youngest daughter for her birthday next month.!She has been studying at 3 different units in Brisbane for 9 years and working so hard she has nearly finished. She developed a passion for soda water from a very young age and it is a staple in her fridge. The drink I would make would be a Hugo. Hugo is the name of one of her little dogs, unfortunately due to changed circumstances in her life she has had to part with one of her dogs, Victor, hard for her but he is going to a very loving home. She has kept Hugo.

        The drink I would make would be for her on her birthday and it is aptly named a Hugo!

        Hugo recipe

        100ml of Prosecco.
        150ml of Soda Water
        10mls of Elderflower syrup (add more for a sweeter drink)
        2tsp of fresh lime juice
        4 mint leaves, or extra if desired
        Ice cubes

        How to mix Hugo

        In a large wine glass muddle the mint leaves
        throw in some ice cubes
        Add Elderflower Syrup
        add the Prosecco and Soda Water
        Cut some slices of lime and add for a ‘hey good lookin’ drink as well as delicious.

        With thanks and gratitude Jennifer.
