What Makes Soda Water Cocktails So Great?

A benefit of soda water cocktails is that alcoholic drinks with soda water generally have a lot fewer calories and/or artificial ingredients in them. Swapping out mixers such as lemonade, tonic water or juice with soda water makes a lower-calorie drink that has less of the bad stuff. To add some ‘non-artificial’ flavour, try adding fresh fruit (citrus is a popular choice), and herbs such as mint or natural syrup for a healthier yet tasty twist. With our sparkling water home filtration systems that give you unlimited soda water on tap, you can experiment away until you find the perfect combo!

With its ‘neutral’ taste and effervescence, soda water is also hugely versatile, it can be used for so many different variations of gin and soda cocktails, vodka soda water cocktails, rum cocktails, and the list goes on! Making alcoholic drinks with soda water is also a great way to balance out sweet ingredients such as sugary syrups. Because of its neutral taste, soda water is ideal for artisan spirits such as botanical gins, etc as it doesn’t compromise the flavour.

 

Making Alcoholic Drinks With Soda Water At Home

We’ve made it super easy for you to make soda water cocktails at home. Our water filtration systems give you soda water on tap whenever you feel like whipping up a gin and soda cocktail or whatever takes your soda water cocktail fancy. Whether you’re making a soda water cocktail jug for friends or a little glass of something for yourself, you can simply pour as much as you need without cluttering up your fridge with half-flat soda water bottles or having to lug out the manual soda water machine.

According to the Institute of Medicine, the recommended amount of water per day for a healthy adult is approximately 9­–13 cups. This does vary depending on a few different factors (i.e. gender, the weather, how active you are and your health) but overall this is a good guide as to how much we should be aiming for.

Many of us however find it difficult to drink this amount of water in a day. But, the good news is that there are ways to make drinking water easier, and more enticing. One of these is adding flavour to your water. Below are our recommendations on what to add to water for flavour along with what to add to water for hydration.

Billi has been at the forefront of the instant filtered boiling and chilled water systems industry for over 30 years. All our water filtration systems come with an assurance of quality, innovation & sustainability and are proudly Australian-designed & made to strict quality standards in our state-of-the-art facilities in Melbourne.

To help increase your daily water intake and maintain your health & wellbeing, here is what to add to water to make it taste better if you’re looking for healthy, low-sugar options as well as what to add to water for hydration

 

What To Add To Water For Flavor

Adding flavour to water is a great way to entice you to drink more water. But you want to be mindful of what you’re adding in. Adding flavour with lots of sugar or unhealthy unnatural ingredients could counteract the benefits of the water you’re drinking. But firstly, let’s talk about the quality of the water you’re drinking as not all water is equal.

Drinking filtered water will not only improve the taste & odour but will also remove things like chlorine, parasitic cysts such as cryptosporidium & giardia. Once you know you’ve got great-tasting, high-quality water – you can now mix things up and start introducing flavour.

Our water filtration systems use premium filters that filter all these things mentioned above, out of your water – giving you the best quality drinking water. And, what’s even better is that you can have instant boiling, chilled, still and sparkling water on tap. This makes your filtered drinking water much more accessible and you can have fun trying out different flavour variations with boiling water, sparkling water, chilled, or whatever your preference is that day!

Recommended Flavourful Additions To Water

Here are our recommendations on what to add to water to make it taste better whilst ensuring what you’re putting into your body is just the good stuff:

 

 

What To Add To Water For Hydration

When your body loses more water than you’re taking in, this can cause dehydration. If you’re dehydrated or need to encourage more effective hydration, electrolytes (minerals and salts including potassium, sodium, and calcium) are what to add to water for hydration.

Recommended Hydration Additives To Water

When it comes to electrolytes, what to add to water for hydration can include:

As summer rolls in with its longer days and balmy nights, it’s the perfect time to host those much-awaited gatherings, and what better way to make them memorable than with delightful big-batch cocktails? Whether it’s a casual backyard barbecue or a glamorous New Year’s Eve party, serving up refreshing, easy-to-make drinks is a fun and time-saving solution to let you focus on the party more. With the innovative technology of Billi’s filtered water systems, batching cocktails is easier than ever.

 

Crafting the Perfect Batch

Big-batch cocktails are the secret weapon for any host. They allow you to enjoy the party instead of playing bartender all night. The key to a successful batch is balance – inoffensive flavours and not too much alcohol so the batch gets enjoyed as long as possible. Think of spritzes and punches as your templates; they are versatile, easy to mix, and always a crowd-pleaser.

 

The Spritz: A Refreshing Staple

A classic spritz is a blend of something bubbly, something bitter, and something citrusy. For a summer twist, try a Peach & Thyme Spritz. Mix together peach nectar or schnapps, a dash of thyme-infused simple syrup, and a splash of Aperol. Top it off with Billi’s sparkling filtered water for that extra fizz. Serve over ice in large jugs for a refreshing drink that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious.

 

 

Punch: The Ultimate Party Companion

Punches are the unsung heroes of the party drinks world. A well-made punch can transport your guests to tropical paradises or Mediterranean coasts. For a crowd-pleaser, try a Tropical Sparkling Punch. Blend pineapple juice, coconut water, a touch of lime juice, and a hint of rum for that tropical vibe. Use Billi’s chilled filtered water to dilute to taste or Billi’s instant boiling water options to brew tea-based punches. Garnish with slices of pineapple and mango for an exotic touch.

 

Easy on you and the Environment

Incorporating Billi’s eco-friendly technology in your party planning isn’t just convenient, with Billi’s under-bench water systems, you’re choosing an energy-efficient, space-saving solution that reduces the need for bottled water and minimises your carbon footprint.

Billi’s water systems also offer unparalleled customisation options. Whether you need boiling water for hot cocktails on a chilly evening or chilled water for a scorching summer day, Billi has you covered. Moreover, our sparkling water dispensers can be adjusted for the right level of carbonation for your tastes and our taps come in a wide range of finishes.

Tea’s purported health benefits and massive variety make it an attractive choice for both summer and winter drinking, but with all these different kinds it can be a daunting learning curve to go from a standard English Breakfast bag to cold infusing your own teas.

Whether you already like a steamy cup of chamomile before bed or are dreaming of a refreshing glass of cold-brewed fruit-infused tea on a sunny afternoon, Billi’s instant boiling and chilled water systems can change how you make your favourite drink, keep reading to learn how to make infused teas easily at home or in the office with a Billi water system.

 

Step-by-Step Guide to Infused Teas

Tea infusions are drinks made by steeping plants or fruits in hot water. This probably sounds like making a regular cup of tea, but is generally used for ‘teas’ not made from the actual tea plant such as fruit or herbal teas.

These are generally delicious at all temperatures so we recommend trying each of these two main ways to make herbal, floral, and fruit infused teas:

Making Hot Infused Tea:

  1. Select your preferred tea leaves or bags.
  2. Make sure your instant boiling Billi tap is set to the perfect temperature and dispense water directly over the tea.
  3. Allow to steep according to the type of tea
  4. Enjoy as is or add sweeteners and milk as desired.
  5. Optionally leave to cool to your desired temperature and refrigerate for later enjoyment.

 

Creating Cold Infused Tea:

  1. Choose your tea type or mix – fruit teas can bring a natural sweetness to complex herbal flavours.
  2. Fill a pitcher with cold water from your Billi system.
  3. Add tea bags or loose-leaf tea in an infuser.
  4. Refrigerate overnight for a delicately flavoured beverage the next day.
  5. Serve over ice and perhaps a slice of lemon for that extra zest.

 

Important Note: Different teas will have different fridge lives but generally a good recommendation is to consume infused tea that has been properly stored in the fridge within a few days.

 

 

Why Choose Billi for Hot and Cold Tea Infusing?

Designed and manufactured in Melbourne, Billi’s systems epitomise cutting-edge design and functionality. With systems offering combinations of instantly filtered chilled, boiling, ambient, and sparkling water you can have ready access to great-tasting water at the perfect temperature.

This is essential for infusing the perfect cup of tea, where the quality of water is just as crucial as the quality of the tea leaves. Here are three reasons you should choose Billi for your tea needs:

 

Enhance Your Tea with Billi

Making tea should be a ritual that relaxes, refreshes, and can even revitalise you but with busy schedules can often fall by the wayside. With a Billi system in your kitchen, infusing teas becomes even more enjoyable and convenient.
