Create Izze flavor on a budget

I LOVE Izze drinks! My favorites are Lemon, Clementine, and Pomegranate. Izze’s are the perfect combination of tartness and carbonation, satisfies my sweet tooth and as far as drinks go, they are way better than other fruit or soft drink on the market. As an added bonus, they seem to be a very forward thinking company.

So, why am I mentioning Izze drinks on my blog. Well, being a healthier, eco-conscious drink they are a bit on the pricier side. A four pack of Izze’s go for $4.99. Now with all the flavors I love, that can add an extra $20 bucks to my groceries and they go so fast! Recently when picking up some organic lemonade at Trader Joe’s I decided to mix a little with club soda and you know what, it tastes exactly like the Lemon Izze. I haven’t been able to replace all the flavors yet with a just as healthy, low cost alternative, but I’m working on it.

My recommendation is to fill your glass with half lemonade and half club soda, mineral water, etc. It’s the perfect combination and replacement for Izze or Limonata Pelligrino, which I love too! Perfect summer thirst-quenching drink! and you’ll make your grocery drink purchases last a bit longer.

BTW, Cranberry juice and club soda, with a bit of lemon is really tasty too. My mom used to make that combo for my sis and I as kids all the time. She always used Perriere but I’m sure club soda will taste just as good.
