Apple Cider Vinegar Berry Sparkler

September 28, 2017 ·

Apple Cider Vinegar Berry Sparkler combines apple cider vinegar, juice and sparkling water to create a refreshing and delicious way to enjoy the health benefits of apple cider vinegar. Thank you to Pompeian for sponsoring this post for what’s #TrendingintheKitchen.

Many years ago, I read an article touting all the wonderful health benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar on a daily basis. It sounded intriguing (and a little crazy!) but I purchased a bottle of apple cider vinegar and incorporated in into my daily routine – 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar stirred in roughly 8 ounces of water…add honey, as desired. While I enjoyed that as-is (no honey, in fact!), I wanted to create an apple cider vinegar drink that was fruity and fun that my family and friends would enjoy too,…such as this Apple Cider Vinegar Berry Sparkler!
