Default Sparkling drinks with natural sweetener

I used stevia, mint, lime and ice in sparkling mineral water to make a sparkly summer drink.. It tasted rather like cola! I'll try freezing some into ice lollies sometime.

Always looking for simplifications, today I tried stevia and soda to make cream soda drink. Rather good, but too gluggable without the ice and extras.

I'll try boiling up ginger to make an essence to make a ginger ale next.

I'm not into artificial sweeteners, so it was good to make a sparkly drink.

I was thinking that a very diluted fruit juice with good water, carbonated (CO2 things), and cold, might be a great summer drink. More like "flavored water" than fruit juice.

That's what I did with the lime drink. I only needed a little lime juice plus a slice and a few leaves of mint. :0) Very good.
