Learn how to make flavored sparkling water at home using Breville InFizz bottles. Simple steps, fresh fruit, and carbonation tips for crisp, bubbly drinks.
Quick Answer
Use your Breville InFizz bottles to carbonate plain water, then add fresh fruit, herbs, or a splash of juice for naturally flavored sparkling water — no artificial syrups needed.
Why Use InFizz Bottles for Flavored Water?
The InFizz bottles are BPA-free and designed specifically for Breville soda makers, so they handle carbonation pressure safely. Their 0.6L size is ideal for single servings or experimenting with different flavors without committing to a full liter.
Carbonating plain water first, then adding flavor, gives you control over fizz level and sweetness. Still water infusions work too, but they lack the bubbly texture that makes sparkling water so refreshing.
Fresh vs. Bottled Flavors
Fresh fruit, citrus slices, cucumber, and herbs like mint or basil add clean, subtle flavor without extra sugar or calories. Bottled syrups or concentrates offer stronger, sweeter results but may contain additives.
For a quick option, muddle a few raspberries or add a lemon wheel directly to your carbonated water in the InFizz bottle. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then pour over ice.
How to Make Flavored Sparkling Water with InFizz Bottles
- Carbonate the water: Fill your InFizz bottle with cold filtered water up to the fill line. Attach to your Breville soda maker and carbonate according to the machine instructions. Use the highest carbonation setting for a crisp base that holds up to added flavors. Common mistake: overfilling the bottle leaves no room for carbonation and can cause weak fizz.
- Add your flavoring: Open the carbonated bottle carefully to release pressure. Add sliced fruit (citrus, berries, melon), herbs (mint, basil), or a splash of 100% juice. Avoid muddling too hard — you want flavor, not pulp. Reseal the bottle and gently swirl. Checkpoint: wait 5–10 minutes before drinking for the flavor to infuse without becoming bitter.
- Serve and store: Pour over ice and enjoy immediately for maximum fizz. If storing, keep the bottle sealed in the fridge and consume within 24 hours — carbonation will fade and fruit may turn the water bitter. Common mistake: leaving fruit in the bottle overnight makes the water taste over-infused and can cause the bottle to retain odors.
