When warmer weather hits, low-cal mixers do a total Pinterest takeover. First there were Kombucha cocktails, then La Croix, then Fresca bevvies. Now the newest *new* thing is Zevia soda. If you haven’t tried it yet, prepare to meet your new fave mixer. These zero-cal beverages are sweetened with stevia and get their gorgeous-in-the-glass color from natural sources, like fruit peels. Pretty, tasty, low-cal, all natural — what’s not to HEART? Here are 11 drink recipes that are fueling the Zevia cocktail frenzy.
