Coming from a famous apple-growing region in Nova Scotia, we love all things apple. And part of our Fall is apple cider…so tasty and refreshing!
Recently, we have been making a wonderful twist on this favourite apple beverage…sparkling apple cider.
This is such a great drink to serve on a warm Fall afternoon. My son likes this as a treat when he gets home from school sometimes.
And to make this, only 3 ingredients are needed…apple cider, sparkling water and apples.
To make this drink:
Sparkling Apple Cider
-ice
-favourite apple cider
-sparkling water
-small apple slices for garnish
1. Add ice to a mug. Fill mug 2/3 full of sparkling water.
2. Add apple cider to top of glass. Garnish with small apple slices and a straw.
3. Serve.
This is such a pretty drink for Fall, yes?
It would be so perfect for a Fall birthday party or get together.
If you have been reading my blog for awhile, you might remember that last year , we got a Soda Stream and we can make our own sparkling water and soda at home. We love our Soda Stream and we use it every week!
What else is great about the Soda Stream you ask?
It is so easy to make sparkling water…just fill a Soda Stream bottle with water from your tap or fridge, use the machine to add carbonation and that’s it!
I love that we can make our own drinks at home using our own water.
You can make your own sparkling water and flavour it with a little juice of any kind, or buy one of the Soda Stream flavours to make pop.
No more lugging heavy soda bottles home from the grocery store.
And most importantly, it gets our family directly involved in helping to divert over
360 billion bottles and cans from the landfill each year.
It reduces our carbon footprint by making our sodas at home in re-usable bottles and not using sodas that are trucked hundreds or thousands of km to the grocery store.
AND, as a Mom, I also LOVE that I can make ginger ale any time someone has an upset tummy without having to run to the grocery store, especially at 3 am when someone wakes up feeling ill.
Share the Love!
For me, just being able to make my own carbonated water at home would be terrific! And I really like your idea of using it with apple cider, as I find cider a bit too sweet straight out of the jug…thanks for the suggestion!
thanks, also, for the chance to win…I have my fingers crossed!
I would love to have a soda stream! I love sparkling water mixed with cranberry juice, so that's probably what I would make first. epritchett@hotmail.com
I drink "fizzy" water every day with
my lunch. Feels indulgent with zero calories. This soda stream
would be better than plastic bottles every day.

I think I would probably try all drinks from sparkling water to a cola. Nice to see it received 5/5 reviews on their website.
I can't decide which would top my list. I'd have to say it's a tie between sparkling water and gingerale. Though the cola might be nice once in a while.
I would like to try the Pink Grapefruit and Tonic Water!
I would love to make ginger ale
thanks

I would love the opportunity to just make my own "fizzy" water, but I'm sure my family would enjoy your recipe for the apple cider drink. Thanks for the opportunity to win one! canadianswiss@aol.com
I've been looking into these for months, as they look so interesting! I'd probably use mine to make cherry soda, since we can't get it up here and it's one of those things I miss about living in South Carolina! Thanks for the giveaway. 🙂

I remember friends in Denmark having a soda stream and making us a drink called Sportsvand, so if possible that is what I'd like to make first.
Looks absolutely delicious! New follower hoping you'll follow back 🙂

I am not a sugary drink fan but I LOVE sparkling water! It would be awesome to make my own!
Just popping in on a work break – love the look of the apple cider. I have actually been looking at these soda stream machines, we don't drink a lot of pop so something like this would be awesome for those days when we just want one! I think I would make drinks like flavoured carbonated water ala san pelligrino.
I would love to have a soda stream….has been on my wish list for a while now!
We love fizzy water with grapefruit juice- but I can see us picking up lots of different flavours- I would love to try the root beer.
Oh wow…my assisted living residents would love this …drinks for everyone!
Saying hi from Whatever Goes Wednesday. I'm your latest follower and that apple cider recipe looks so neat and the jar is so pretty too. I would love a Soda Stream I remember them from when I was a kid!
Yeah winning a soda stream would be ace! Here's my email emmakcontact[@]yahoo.com
Oh Angie – I SO want a Soda Stream. I've been hankering for one for a while. I think that I'd want to have straight-up Pellegrino as my main drink (with a twist of lime) – but I can see myself adding some carbonation to lemonade too. Oh, my fingers are SO crossed! 🙂
I've never tried apple cider before but your recipe looks too gorgeous not to try! I'd be thrilled if you'd come on over to Pink Recipe Box and link up at Creative Wednesdays: http://pinkrecipebox.com/creative-wednesdays-with-pink-recipe-box-13
I remember my parents having one when I was a child! I would totally make a cranberry one as I often order it when out for dinner. This would be super exciting 🙂

I would love to make carbonated water to mix with all kinds of juices!

Having a Soda Stream in our home would be such a great way of encouraging the whole family to drink healthier drinks for all of us. It would never feel like your just drinking "water" but something almost "forbidden". What a great way to encourage your family to drink healthy and treat Mother Earth with less plastic waste to her well being.
