Sparkling crystal light recipe
It has started “warming” up here in Oklahoma and it seemed the perfect time to make this Sparkling Crystal Light recipe. By warming up, I mean it is 50 degrees!!
It feels amazing and makes everyone around here think of Spring. I just had to share our favorite Sparkling Crystal Light Recipe – perfect for spring and summer for the kids and for the adults.
We had some Sprite and 7-up that I got for CHEAP on sale. My kids love 7-up, but I wanted something better. 
All of a sudden, I thought… what if I dumped some Crystal light in there!
I love that you easily make a little or a lot depending on the day. If I just want something refreshing that is easy, it is so easy to grab a Crystal Light packet and make this in seconds.
I mixed it in and the crystal light punch with sprite tasted great! The kids and I deemed it… Fabulous!
I love this idea because you can use different flavors and colors of Crystal light to go with your party themes or the occasions. The kids really enjoyed this special and frugal treat.
If you use diet sprite or diet 7-up, your drink is only 5 calories! Talk about a refreshing twist to plain old crystal light.
If you are trying to watch what you eat, then this is the perfect treat for you. You can also use sparkling water to make it a low calorie drink.
This is the perfect drink for the entire family to enjoy.
This refreshing drink is so easy to make with crystal light packets!
You can choose all sorts of different flavors for a great treat anytime you want a refreshing drink. It is easy enough that everyone can even choose their own flavor.
This is perfect for kids that might want something different. There are so many options of Crystal Light packets to choose from.
We love lemonade, fruit punch, orange and many more! They are also so delicious. The orange is great for a brunch and the lemonade is perfect for a cookout.
Of course the kids always love fruit punch. You can’t go wrong with any of the flavors so just use what you prefer!

Hello,
I thought I was the only genius to create this yummy drink! It is so refreshing in the summer especially with all the new choices in flavored sparkling waters. My favorite mix is 1 or 2 Raspberry Lemonade Crystal light packets and 2 cans of LaCroix Grapefruit sparkling water. Or the berry flavored sparkling waters, . So many choices! I recommend it super cold!
Thanks for sharing Tami!
I made one just now with Crystal Light Pink Lemonade and a can of Diet 7Up! I also added a little bit of water to tone down the slightly overwhelming sweetness (or else just use less of the Crystal Light mix too). I’ve actually been making this for the last 8 years, when I was diagnosed with type II diabetes. I LOVE fizzy soda but diet soda isn’t overly great either…I did get accustomed to it eventually but adding the Crystal Light just makes any diet soda taste wayyyyy better! I drink it year round too. Just don’t forget to drink mostly plain water throughout the day though so you stay hydrated! I typically make this about a few times a week when I’m craving the dizziness of an ice cold refreshing soda! Plus I love pink lemonade! Enjoy!
Yes it does. I have done that for me!
Awesome idea!!! I wonder if this would work with diet 7 up? I will have to give it a try this summer.
