Before we get started on how to make hard seltzer recipes at home, let’s discuss soda water vs. club soda.
Just like club soda, soda water calories are always zero. The difference between soda water and sparkling water is not much at all. You can make homemade sparkling water, or soda water with a Soda Stream machine, or you can pick up cans of club soda at the grocery store.
Either method will result in the same hard seltzer recipe. The difference between sparkling water and soda water is not much at all, and it certainly will not change the flavor or calorie count. They are basically the same!
This article will teach you how to make cocktails with sparkling water at home…

How to Make Hard Seltzer at Home
A popular question I get on this website, is “Is sparkling flavored water good for you?”
The easy answer, is yes! By adding fruit to your sparkling water, you’re more likely to drink more water, and skip diet, and full calorie sodas. Just like breaking your soda habit, fruity cocktails need to be removed from your diet as well if you’re trying to lose weight.
Now, before I get a ton of hate mail for these hard seltzer recipes, I want to remind you that all alcohol should be consumed in moderation. The goal for this article is to supply you with healthy alternatives, so you can enjoy what you’re craving without blowing your diet.


This section will show you how to make hard seltzer recipes at home, under 100 calories. As I stated above, all alcohol should be consumed in moderation, cocktails with sparkling water will be lower in calories, but if you have too many they will hurt your diet as well.
These vodka and seltzer drinks can help you indulge, without over indulging in calories. One healthy tip I have for you, once your vodka seltzer drink is halfway gone, top it off with more soda water. This will give you the illusion of drinking more, without actually adding any more calories or alcohol to your diet.
How to Make Homemade Hard Seltzer Recipes:
- Add the desired flavor to a large glass, you can use more than one (the lime and strawberry are my favorite combination!)
- Use a muddler to squash and muddle the fruit, top with zero calorie simple syrup and vodka.
- Add ice to the glass, top with soda water and use a long spoon to stir.
- Serve with more fruit as a garnish if desired.
