1. Pick your base
The base can be any liquid that does not have any added sugar or artificially sweetened component like stevia or Splenda. Common bases are tap water and flavored or unflavored sparkling/carbonated water.
2. Add your flavor
Add flavor by mashing fruits or berries and add them to the bottom of the glass.
3. Pick your add-ons
Add ingredients to make your drink look delicious and intensify the flavor. This can include a fruit slice on the rim of the glass, cut-up fruit slices added in the drink, or mint leaves or basil for garnish.
