Ingredient Notes

Watermelon Poppy (Probiotic Soda)

This is the base flavor of the drink. Poppy soda is known for being a healthier alternative to traditional sodas because it contains prebiotics that support gut health. The watermelon flavor adds a naturally sweet, fruity taste that pairs perfectly with summer vibes. It also provides a light fizz that makes the drink feel refreshing and indulgent without excess sugar.

Coconut Water

Coconut water is often referred to as “nature’s sports drink.” It is rich in potassium, magnesium, and other electrolytes that help replenish fluids lost through sweat. It adds a subtle sweetness and enhances the drink’s hydrating properties. Choose pure, unsweetened coconut water for the best results.

LMNT Watermelon Salt

This electrolyte packet is designed to provide essential minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. The watermelon salt flavor adds both sweetness and a slightly salty edge, which helps your body absorb water more efficiently. It’s especially beneficial for athletes, people on low-carb diets, or anyone needing rapid hydration.

Filtered Water

Filtered water balances the drink, diluting the stronger flavors while ensuring a clean, refreshing taste. It also helps adjust the overall intensity of sweetness and saltiness.

Ice

Ice is essential for serving this drink cold and refreshing. It enhances the crispness and makes it perfect for hot weather. You can use regular ice cubes or crushed ice depending on your preference.
