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.
