While not the most beautiful looking thing--it is so good. Bottles of sparkling water are made in seconds. For years we've kept jugs of Brita filtered water http://www.brita.com/intl/around the house and except milk and the occasional juice carton (cocktail fixings too, of course for the adults) so as a result, the guys drink a ton of water. They got in the habit because they had to and now its the drink of choice. So, naturally--the instant soda is welcome. With lots of citrus fruit always on hand --fresh grapefruit, orange or lime for a "squash" drink is an awesome drink too.
