This Blackberry Honey Spritzer is a natural soda alternative that is cool, crisp and refreshing. It is easy to make, contains all real ingredients and is my new favorite beverage!
It seems like I am always trying to kick my soda habit. Well, I have to admit that I haven’t yet been able to stop drinking soda completely. But, with drinks like this Blackberry Honey Spritzer and my Strawberry Lemonade Fizz I have been able to limit my soda intake.
And you are getting real fruit with this drink! I don’t allow my daughter to drink soda, so when I give her a glass of this it is a real treat!
It is sweet, bubbly and refreshing. The only thing missing . . . Caffeine! I guess you can’t have it all.

Mmm… this looks delicious! I have a slight Diet Coke problem, and I’ve been trying to switch over to a more natural, homemade drink when I have a craving lately. I will have to try this one out.
Diet Coke … Same here! I hope you have better luck kicking the soda habit than I did. These homemade versions do help 🙂
This is such a great alternative to those HFCS-laden sodas! I too, have been trying to kick the soda habit lately. I’m definitely going to be trying this beautiful looking drink!
Ughhh, I know! I had an easier time kicking my cigarette & alcohol habits years back! These homemade sodas are great, especially at night. But, I NEED caffeine, so I always end up drinking the bad for me stuff during the day :/ I hope you enjoy!
This looks very good!
Thanks Diana!
