Fizz Up Your Summer with Sparkling SodaStream Drinks

As the months heat up, so does our desire for round-the-clock cool refreshments. Whether you’re a sweet drink sipper or prefer the bitter taste of tonic, Sodastream have got you covered all summer long.

Buying this gadget is a simple way to elevate your home bar and make delicious beverages for everyone to enjoy. With long-term savings and a positive environmental impact, you’ll find SodaStream to be well worth it. Let’s explore your new summer soda menu and get your imagination – and the drinks – flowing!

How to use SodaStream for Refreshing Fizz

With this gadget at home, fizz will always be at your fingertips. Setting up and using your machine is simple. With models like the SodaStream Art, fitting the carbonating cylinder is done with a Quick Connect system that’s as easy as pulling a lever. Then all you need to do is fill your bottle with water, place it in the machine and pull the handle – then it’s bubbles galore!

You can pull the handle multiple times to customise the sparkle level to your liking. Or select how carbonated you’d like your drink with a button on the electric SodaStream E-Terra. If you’re after a particularly fizzy result, keep  your water cold, as carbon dioxide dissolves better in colder temperatures. Also, ensuring your cylinder is tightly sealed helps keep the gas where it belongs, in your delicious drink!

Tips for Making Your Drinks Really Fizzy

If your drinks aren’t coming out as fizzy as you’d like, we can help you to use your machine to full effect. The secret to getting the best SodaStream results lies in a few key factors:

1. Chilled water: Cold water absorbs CO2 better than room temperature water, making your drinks extra fizzy. Keep a full SodaStream bottle in the fridge so you’re always ready to carbonate.
2. Correct carbonation: Try pressing the SodaStream handle in short bursts until you reach your desired bubble count. This allows the CO2 to fully integrate with the water for a drink that’s really fizzy.
3. Patience: After using the SodaStream, let your bottle rest for a moment. This gives the CO2 time to dissolve in the water, providing a stronger fizz.

Healthy Sodas Bubbling with Flavour

There’s a vending machine’s worth of flavours to explore. From crowd-pleasing Pepsi and 7Up lemonade, to clean sparkling tonics. But why stop at the classics? Be adventurous and throw some extra ingredients in for a signature SodaStream creation. It’s a great way to encourage healthier drinking habits, as you can add fresh fruit and juice to your SodaStream drinks.

Fresh mint goes wonderfully with ginger ale, or try adding an orange slice and pink grapefruit syrup for a sweet-sharp afternoon drink. For garnishes, use a peeler to add a swirl of colour to your glass and even edible flowers for another level of sophistication. If you don’t have a drinks tray at home, then one of our large wood serving boards will make a fine substitute.

You’ll be rushing to create sparkling drinks and mocktails for your guests! Mocktails are another way that a SodaStream will keep you healthy. You can cut down on your alcohol consumption and ramp up the flavour exploration! Remember our giant ice cube tray and party tumblers for garden-safe drinks with bar-worthy presentation.

Top it all off with a Lakeland reusable straw as a nod to the eco credentials of using SodaStream.

SodaStream offers Eco-friendly Fizz

You won’t just be creating fun and refreshing drinks with SodaStream, you’ll also be helping to reduce waste. Bringing one of these machines home could replace up to 1,200 single-use plastic bottles and cans a year.

Plus, sparkling water machines like SodaStream Terra run only on gas – they don’t use any electricity to carbonate your drinks. And, when the gas canister is empty, simply return it to a Lakeland store when you’re next popping by. We’ll dispose of it safely and give you a replacement refill at a discounted rate.

SodaStream is wallet-friendly too. Rather than purchasing bottles of soda or tonic water throughout the year, you’ll be creating your own at home. Each 440ml concentrate can make up to 9 litres of fizzy drink, all for price of 2 litres of shop brought plastic bottles. It’s a worthwhile purchase that’ll mean fewer store trips, more savings and less waste.

So, are you ready to bring some fizz into your life? Whether you’re hosting a summer garden party, lounging by yourself in the sun, or simply wanting a refreshing drink after a long day, Lakeland’s sparkling water makers have you covered. Create your bespoke fizzy drinks, serve them in style, and most importantly, have fun while doing it!
