I sat down to work this morning I wanted to share a new addition to our 2025 Christmas Gift Guide: Fizz 70+ Homemade Artisan Sodas by Andrea Lynn. I received a copy of the book in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase, I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.
My family is always purchasing Soda’s at Fast Food places and Convivence Stores because I like Cherry in my Soda. We could purchase a SodaStream which we had in the past, but it was always in the way. The drink packages were expensive and no, one could agree on what they wanted to drink.
Thanks to Fizz 70+ Homemade Artisan Sodas I don’t have that problem. I let everyone pick out two recipes a week and purchase the ingredients we will need to make the drinks with and we save money and have healthier drinks to share with our friends and family.
Charlie and I were excited to find Fizz 70+ Homemade Artisan Sodas is broken down into chapters including Homemade Soda Copycats like a Cherry Cola I can’t wait to taste. For David I can’t wait to get Cream Soda Syrup. For Charlie I can’t wait to purchase Peach Syrup.
I’ve said it a million time that learning shouldn’t stop when a child graduates. Charlie and I enjoyed learning about Soda’s in America which brought us a lot of #teachingmoments. We learned the difference between the name Soda Pop vs Coke and where the names came from.
I like how the Author includes what we need for #Homemade Soda’s which will help me compile a Holiday Shopping list for our family and we learned there is also a list of other ways to use Soda Syrups, so they don’t go to waste.
I was excited to find out there is Concord Grape Syrup so I can make Grape Soda for myself. I can’t wait to let David know there is Strawberry Syrup. If you’re wondering what to serve during the #Holidays check out the recipes for Seasonal Suds.
All in all Fizz 70+ Homemade Artisan Sodas is the perfect book for any Bartender or Soda Connoisseur or even families wanting to teach their children healthier versions of their favorite Sodas. If we had been #Homeschooling still, we would have used this recipe book in our Homeschool Cooking Class.
