Some say that’s probably why our Razz Lime and Ginger Orange Shimmer Seltzer flavors are our two most popular options. But what if we told you there’s a whole world of flavor combinations just waiting to make your seltzer experience even more exciting? Dive into this fun and fizzy adventure as we explore fifteen unique and tantalizing flavor pairings. Whether you’re hosting a summer party or just want to add a twist to your drink routine, these combinations are sure to delight your taste buds.
1. Classic Berry Medley
Add a handful of mixed berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to your citrus seltzer for a classic yet refreshing twist. The sweet and tangy berries complement the zesty citrus perfectly. Did you know berries are also packed with antioxidants? This flavor combination is not only delicious but can also offer a health boost according to experts.
To elevate the experience, try lightly muddling the berries before adding them.

The vibrant colors of the berries against the clear, bubbly background of citrus seltzer also create a feast for the eyes. Whether you’re sipping this on a lazy afternoon or serving it at a garden party, it’s a surefire hit!
