Prickly Pear Soda

This recipe is for a bright little spritzer that will bring pep to your step as we head into Spring.

It’s light and tart and very pretty! The lemon and pretty pink tone will help you mix in some self-love, positivity, and spring feelings into your day. This serves one but can be increased for friends.

Ingredients

Juice of 1 fresh lemon (about 1 ½ Tbs)

1 cup sparkling water

1 to 1 ½ Tbs prickly pear syrup (Cheri’s on Amazon is decent, or Desert Mystic Goods for witch-made)

Sugar or monkfruit as needed, depending on personal taste and sweetness of your syrup. I used a half a teaspoon

Put everything but the sugar into a quart jar and shake it to blend. Taste to see how much sugar you need to add, if any. Shake some more if you need to.

As you shake it (or you could stir), think about what a nice day it is, and how nice it is to treat yourself (or your friends) with a fresh drink. You deserve good things!

Serve over ice.

Add some vodka if you want- but you might reduce some of the water to maintain the flavor.
