Testimonials
"I’ve been hooked on Syfos for years. It’s SO much better than other seltzers or expensive sparkling waters. We get it at our local Publix in Florida. When we first started buying it many years ago, they kept running out. We asked them if they could increase their stock, and they did! So if you don’t see it in your local store, just ask."

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.

Watermelon Mojito
Here’s a delicious summertime treat from a WebMD feature on low-calorie cocktails.
This is a refreshing take on the Cuban mojito that’s light on the calories. Instead of using sugar, use a wooden pestle or a big spoon to gently crush cubes of watermelon with fresh mint leaves. Add rum and Syfo Original Seltzer or your favorite flavor of Syfo Naturally-Flavored Sparkling Waters for a sweet mojito. At 100 calories, it has half the calories of a usual mojito.
Ranch Water
Ranch Water is basically a highball made with tequila. Place 2 shots of tequila in a glass (3 ounces).Mix in the juice of 1 lime (that’s about 1 ½ ounces). Fill the glass with ice and top it off with Syfo Original Seltzer (about ½ cup). Recipe adapted from a couple cooks.
From Martha Stewart Living, here’s a delicious recipe that’s the perfect way to welcome in spring. Be sure to have plenty of chilled Syfo Original Seltzer on hand.

Preparation:
Step 1
Combine agave nectar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring. Let syrup cool completely, then transfer to a blender and puree with sorrel until smooth. Pour syrup through a fine sieve into a bowl and discard solids.
Step 2
Squeeze lime quarters into a large pitcher. Add quarters to pitcher and gently smash with the back of a wooden spoon to release the oils in the rind. Add sorrel syrup and seltzer. Serve over ice, garnished with lime rounds.
Cool off with this Naturally Flavored Sparkling Water Recipe
Although I am addicted to Syfo on its own, my everyday beverage life and entertaining consists of mixing Syfo with every juice imaginable.
In a tall or short glass, mix Syfo Lemon-Lime with All Natural Simply Lemonade or Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice. Syfo Wild Cherry is great with All Natural Simply Lemonade with Rasberry. Mix Florida’s Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice or Grape Fruit Juice with Syfo Original Seltzer, Lemon-Lime, Tangerine-Orange or Wild Cherry. The possibilities are endlessly refreshing and “good for you drinks”. Sometimes I combine all of the Syfo beverages together with all of the different juices. Serve at once over ice cubes. Garnish with a wedge of squeezed lime, orange or lemon.
