You guys know by now that I’m obsessed with my Sodastream machine and in an attempt to save money for my European trip, I bought various official flavours mixers to make cocktails at home. I had a chat with Sodastream and asked them for a few cool recipes which we could use with regular mixes for summer time. Considering today is the 1st of September (happy Spring day) I thought they were befitting to share:
Mojito
- 75ml rum
- 25 mint leaves
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 30ml lime juice
- 125ml Sodastream soda water
Place mint leaves in bottom of the glass; add crushed ice, rum, sugar and lime juice and muddle. Add Sodastream soda water. Garnish with mint leaves and serve. (for extra flavour, coat the rim of the glass by coating with lime juice and salt before filling it)
- 30ml Absolut Vodka
- 75ml coconut rum
- 125ml Sodastream soda water
- Sodastream Ginger Ale
Mix the crushed ice, vodka and coconut rum and muddle. Add soda water and the ginger ale syrup to taste. Garnish with mint leaves and serve.
Sunset Boulevard
- 125ml Absolut Vanilla Vodka
- 1 orange
- 15ml Fresh Lime Juice
- 500ml Sodastream soda water with Sodaatream orange flavour
Peel the orange and segment by removing all the skin and pips; pour the vodka, lime juice and Sodastream orange syrup into a glass. Add the Sodastream soda water and the orange segments and serve.
Cheers!
