The warmer weather is here and summer is well on its way. As the warmer weather continues, it is super important to stay hydrated while doing so in a way that doesn't require only drinking bland water. I have teamed up with Monin to test out a few brand new products on their line and have put them to the test in the classic club soda recipe.

Blackberries have always been one of my favorite fruits and Monin brings out the best of the fruit. This drink tastes just like blackberry and I love the soda feel of the drink without the additional calories, sugar, and crap that I would be drinking with canned or bottled soda.

The cucumber flavor is so strong in this drink, it makes it even better. I swapped out the soda for water in my next cucumber drink and it did wonders for the water!

Be super careful with the mint! It comes out relatively quickly and if you're not careful, you will be tasting mint for days after your drink. But, with just the right amount of flavoring, this drink is refreshing.

It was such an honor to be in touch with Monin and to work together! I would like to take a moment to apologize that there was not a blog post last week and certainly hope this makes up for it! Each product I tested today was of such high quality and without a doubt, exceeded my expectations.
Thank you again to Monin for making this blog post possible and thank you to all who read these posts, making it possible for me to continue doing what I love.
Let me know down below or in my inbox which flavor you would be excited to try!
