Club soda is very universal when it comes to beverages. About any household probably has a few cans, or bottles of a sort of sparkling water. The best thing about sparkling water is that it contains zero calories. When paired with your favorite drink, it will remain light, refreshing, and fizzy. We have created two cocktails containing carbonated water so you and your friends can enjoy a deliciously refreshing beverage that is low on calories.ย
ย ย Piรฑa & Coco Fizz
Have you ever had a Piรฑa Colada? This cocktail is quite similar except it ditched the extra sugar that a Piรฑa Colada contains. After having 2 of those cocktails you begin to feel heavy, and still thirsty because of all the sugar that it contains. However, the Piรฑa & Coco Fizz is very light yet still giving out that pineapple and coconutty notes. It is a great substitute for those who are a big fan of the O.G. Piรฑa Colada but want to keep the calories down low. The best part of this drink is that it is super easy to make, and the ingredients are inexpensive. The ingredients can be easily found at any grocery store.ย
Ingredients:
Malibu Coconut liqueur 1 ยฝ oz
Pineapple juice 1 oz
Simple syrup ยฝ oz
Club soda (fill up)
Directions:ย
Pull out your shaker, and add the Malibu, pineapple juice, and simple syrup. Add ice into your shaker, shake your cocktail. Grab your glass filled with ice, and strain your cocktail into your glass.

Homemade Simple Syrup
Simple syrup can be easily found in stores. However, it can be way more affordable just to make it at home. There is no need to buy a $4 simple syrup that will most likely contain other unnecessary ingredients. Just get some sugar that you probably already have, and some water. That is all it takes.ย
Ingredients:
Water 1 cup
Sugar 1 cup
Directions:
In a small pot, or saucepan add your water, and sugar. Do not let it boil, but instead, let it heat up until you see signs of boiling. Then turn off the heat. Let it cool down. After, pour into a squeeze bottle. Your simple syrup is ready!
ย ย Strawberry Fizz
This is very similar to a hard strawberry lemonade except, it is fizzy. A fizzy drink is always a great bonus. It makes the drinking experience so much funner with the bubble. With this cocktail we ditched the store, bought lemonade and created a fresher homemade. Everything homemade is just so much better. You can instantly taste the actual sweet flavors of the fruit without having all the extra additives. To make our homemade strawberry lemonade to the next level, just add some of your favorite sparkling water. Now you have a fizzy, and fresh hard strawberry lemonade.
