Having tested almost every SodaStream on the market, I can confidently say there is something truly magical about turning plain tap water into a fizzy, refreshing beverage in seconds. If you need another reason to bring one into your kitchen this summer, Martha Stewart has provided a sparkling endorsement.

For her summer tablescape, Martha served a chilled sweetcorn soup with tiny croutons, her favorite tomato tart, and ice-cold sparkling drinks made with a SodaStream (available at Amazon). Martha adds 'the table was simply set with first blooming lillies, poppies and roses, and Fortmason Pomegranate iced tea and SodaStream sparkling water was served as cooling beverages.'

If you have been wondering whether to buy a SodaStream, this is the lowest price I have seen for this model all year in 2026. After checking a price comparison site, the last time the SodaStream Terra dropped to this price point was during the Black Friday sales a few seasons back.

What I love most about the SodaStream is that it is completely cordless. This makes it effortless to bring right out to the patio for a classic summer gathering or a warm evening barbecue. No outlets, no fuss – just instant bubbles wherever the party takes you. You can also prep your custom sparkling water ahead of time and chill the bottle in the fridge, so it is ready to serve for your sparkling summer cocktails.

Martha elevates her summer table decor by serving her beverages in vintage-style crystal glasses – a timeless touch that instantly dresses up any seasonal gathering. I've listed some essential buys, inspired by her arrangement, below.

To help you elevate your own SodaStream drinks for the sunny days ahead, there are a couple of inspired recipes to try.

If you want to add some Martha Stewart-style elegance to your summer table, try making this Lilac Vodka Soda with your SodaStream – it is just as beautiful as it is refreshing. Alternatively, you can go all in on nostalgia with the ultimate Coke float recipe straight from Martha herself. We have tested it, and trust us, it is an absolute summer must-have.
