When Tim and I got married last year there was one particular item that was already sitting on our counter that we wanted to register for, again. The oh so pretty all-white SodaStream. You must have been eyeing it too when it came out, yes? The new design was cleaner, made drinking water 10x more fun, and compared to the old one from a few years back, this one went with our modern kitchen, much like a lot of their traditional & non-traditional registry items. It was definitely time for us to upgrade.

Now that we have it sitting pretty in our new home, we use it all. the. time. I love experimenting with new flavors and combinations, but he always wants the classics.. colas, root beers, you get it. I’m the one whose eyes perk up when you mention tasty lavender vanilla or rhubarb and rosewater. Yummm. Plus, our guests love trying our combinations at a dinner party. I get a kick out of making my own syrups, but I know not everyone has the time, especially the day of a party when you’re worrying about every other detail. If you don’t have the time to mix up your own, their Soda Mix flavors come in a variety of flavors.

Because there are so many fizzy drinks you can make with the SodaStream I thought I’d share some of our favorite recipes. Try some of these amazing syrups or use Soda Mix for a good and easy alternative.

Once we found out that we could use Target’s Wedding Registry to upgrade all of our outdated household items, because seriously, what doesn’t Target have, we may have gone a little overboard registering for new bedding, towels, and sleeping bags for upcoming camping trips. But that’s the fun of it all, right?

And now you can download Target’s mobile app and register on the go (so addicting!). You can find inspiration to build the perfect registry here and start your registry here.
