Now that summer is almost over (did I mention it's pretty cool here at night, especially with the attic fan running?), I have a family-friendly summer drink to share. It's not really a recipe, and I stumbled upon this combination unintentionally. During my first trimester I have a tough time getting much water down, so my sister-in-law suggested carbonated water. Just plain water with CO2. Nothing fancy. I'm sure there could be issues with it being in an aluminum can, but it has no sugar in it. The Santa Cruz organic lemonade has no preservatives and is usually on sale for $1.25 at our local grocery store. Fill a glass with ice, add about 1 T. of juice or lemonade per tall glass (less for these kid-sized glasses) and then fill all the way up with sparkling water. The kids think they are getting some sort of soda, and I don't mind them having 1 T. of lemonade every so often. It's become our Sunday night treat (and my 6 times a day treat). It's a lemonade tonic of sorts. I like to use a reusable straw, but the kids like the bendy straws. And you know what happened to the glass straws.

All we drink around here is fizzy water. I love it- the kids love it. We just buy the polar brand flavored stuff (like perrier but much cheaper) No sugar, no aspertame, just a hint of lemon or lime, or cherry. They have lots of flavors and yes, the kids think they are drinking sprite. Hah!
