What Seltzer Water Should I Use to Make My Cherry Soda?

Creating your own sparkling water at home using a soda machine is a great choice. You have the option to alter the carbonation level to your preference, and it's cheaper in the long run if you often enjoy making homemade sodas. With the availability of refillable CO2 canisters, you can prepare fizzy drinks whenever you feel like it. In short, producing carbonated water at home is a dependable and cost-efficient option.

Will Homemade Cherry Soda Taste Like Store-Bought Soda?

Let's be real, no one buys the fact that you can mix sparkling water and balsamic vinegar to make Coca Cola. In that same sense, homemade Coke is very difficult to achieve without using artificial flavoring. If you are looking for a recipe that resembles Cherry Coca Cola, this is not it.

However, it will taste like just that: Cherry Soda, which in our opinion is even better! Making homemade syrup to mix with sparkling water made from your at-home soda maker gives you the freedom to tailor it to your liking! It's all about what works best and tastes best for you and your family. Ditch the artificial flavoring found in Cherry Coke and try a healthier alternative today!
