NOAA is predicting the most active hurricane season since at least 2005 for 2024. And Hurricane Beryl is the strongest Atlantic storm on record for this early in the season. For any storms that may come our way this year, it’s important to be prepared and ready to keep you and your family safe.
Part of that preparation is ensuring that you have plenty of non-perishable food, water and other healthy beverages on hand. Syfo Original Seltzer and Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters are great to have in supply in addition to water because they’re purified, taste terrific and keep you hydrated, unlike soda and some other sweetened drinks. But because products often sell out when a storm approaches, be sure to always have plenty of Syfo on hand.
Of course there are other steps you’ll need to take to keep you and your family safe for the 2014 hurricane season. Click here to read informative hurricane preparedness tips on Ready.gov and be sure to to stay tuned to your local news outlets and weather forecasts as storms approach.

Watermelon Peach Spritzer
INGREDIENTS
- 2 liters of Syfo Lemon-Lime Naturally Flavored Sparkling Water
- Frozen sliced peaches
- Watermelon, cubed
- Ice cubes
PREPARATION
Put about 5 frozen peach slices in the bottom of each glass. Also add about 5 pieces of cubed watermelon to each glass as well. The amount of fruit you can add will depend on your glass size. I found about 5 peach slices and 5 watermelon cubes worked well for my glass sizes.
To each glass also add 2 ice cubes. Then fill up each glass with the lemon-lime sparkling water. Stir each glass to mix the fruit throughout the drink. If desired, place a piece of watermelon on the rim of each glass.
