Make Your Sober October Sparkling With Sodastream

SOBER OCTOBER

Considering a change of pace this autumn? Whether you’re thinking of going fully sober for October, or are looking to reduce the amount you drink, now is the perfect time to explore the world of alcohol-free refreshment. And the good news is that with a SodaStream sparkling water maker, going dry doesn’t have to mean compromising on enjoying delicious drinks. 

A SodaStream is the perfect partner to any booze-free bar, allowing you to bubble up a glass of freshly sparkled water whenever you want, just add ice and slice! Or if you want something a little more fruity, why not mix up a tropical mocktail that will transport you from your kitchen to the beach?

Try the Virgin Watermelon Berry Cooler for a thirst-quenching long drink that’s bursting with flavour, or the Kombucha Apple Fizz for a booze-free beverage that’s also good for your gut!

What’s more, with each SodaStream gas cylinder creating up to 60 litres of bubbles, you can avoid filling your fridge with countless plastic bottles of mixers.

Simply sparkle up your water and enjoy an endless supply of elegant mocktails without harming the planet or taking up valuable kitchen space. 

Of course, a SodaStream is for life, not just for October! Once November rolls around, and for those just going ‘sober-ish’ this year, SodaStream encourages you to stay hydrated by having refreshing, sparkling water available at the touch of a button. Plus, you may just discover your new favourite drink from our range of delicious syrups and flavours, from classic Diet Cola to tangy Mandarin and Passion Fruit Kombucha. 

Why not put your mixology skills to the test and see for yourself just how easy going sober for October can be?
