Premium Italian drink syrups are known for their high quality and delicious taste. And now Drinkmate has a new line of premium Italian syrups to go along with their carbonation machines. They are made from natural ingredients, such as real fruit, and are free from artificial flavors. Italian syrups are the perfect addition to cocktails, mocktails, slushes, smoothies, Italian ice and of course, flavored sparkling water.
Drinkmate offers their new Italian syrups in a wide range of flavors, from classic fruit flavors like lemon lime and blueberry to more exotic flavors like Italian blood orange and pomegranate.
One advantage of using premium Italian drink syrups is that they are highly concentrated, meaning that a little bit goes a long way. This makes them a cost-effective option to flavor your sparkling water. Each 17 oz bottle of syrup makes 28 eight-ounce drinks.
Drinkmate sent me a bottle of the Sorrento Lemonade flavor to try with my Drinkmate Omnifizz machine. The great thing about the Drinkmate, unlike some other carbonation machines, is you aren’t limited to just carbonating water. You can carbonate all kinds of beverages, which means you can mix the syrups in with other beverages as well and then bubble them up!
I chose to make a sparkling cocktail beverage with the Sorrento Lemonade syrup. Here’s how I made it.
• 18 oz cold water with the Sorrento Lemonade syrup added to it (the syrup mix is diluted to about 1 oz of syrup to 13.5 oz of liquid of choice)
• 3 oz of Mango Pineapple Vodka
• 9 oz of Pineapple Juice (you could really use any kind of complimentary juice with this though, orange, mango, fruit punch are just a few ideas)
Pour those into a 1 Liter Drinkmate bottle up to the maximum fill line. You might have a bit extra left, gulp that down without the bubbles and enjoy the flavors. Carbonate to your preference and voila – Grown Up Sparkling Lemonade drink! This will serve 3 people (or 2 if you want XL servings!).
Overall, Drinkmate’s new premium Italian drink syrups are a great way to add flavor and variety to your drinks. Whether you’re a professional mixologist or just looking to make a delicious drink at home, these syrups are definitely worth trying. You can read more HERE. MSRP $14.99.
