Hydration is important, but let’s be honest—sometimes plain water just doesn’t cut it. If you’re looking for something refreshing, flavorful, and actually functional, this Hydration Sparkling Spritzer is exactly what you need. It’s packed with electrolytes, a hint of citrus, and a vibrant blue hue from spirulina or butterfly pea powder. It’s also endlessly customizable, whether you want a gut-friendly boost postpartum or a pregnancy-safe, alcohol-free option.
The best part? It takes just a few minutes to make. Choose ginger kombucha for a probiotic kick, go with sparkling ginger beer for a zesty twist, or keep things simple with an extra hydration support packet for a low-sugar option. However you mix it, this drink is a major upgrade from your standard glass of water.

Kombucha contains trace amounts of alcohol, so it’s best to skip it during pregnancy. If you want the perfect fizz, try FeverTree sparkling water. However you customize it, this drink is proof that staying hydrated doesn’t have to be boring.
