- Strawberry Twist — For this delightful citrus-and-strawberry concoction, grab your cutting board and a mix of seasonal and year-round fruit favorites. Add one pint of sliced strawberries, one chopped lime, 1/2 of a sliced cucumber, and a generous handful of fresh mint leaves to your pitcher.
- Orange-Raspberry Water — Equally balanced with tart citrus and sweet berry notes, this easy-to-make fruit-infused water is a fan-favorite. Convince the kiddos that drinking their fruit is cool! Lightly crush one pint of raspberries and add them to your pitcher along with one sliced orange. Add more orange on your second go-round for an added kick.
- Ginger-Pineapple Water — This tropical mix will remind you of your favorite beachside cocktails. The trick with this two-ingredient recipe is to be generous with the ginger. Slice about 4 cups, or a pound, of pineapple and add it to your pitcher. Then, slice 8 round pieces of ginger, smash them to release the juices, and add those as well.
- Veggie-Infused Water — Focus on nutritious vegetables for this water infusion recipe. Cube one large beefsteak tomato, chop two stalks of celery, and dice one red bell pepper. Remove all stems and seeds before adding the veggies to your pitcher.
- Lemon-Infused Water — It doesn’t get any easier than this. Thinly slice two lemons and add them to your pitcher. You can adjust future batches with more lemons for more concentrated flavor.
