This is currently a huge thing in my house. My kids are crazy for these drinks. My daughter gets home from school and starts thinking what fruits they will use today.
At first I thought it was a little silly putting the fruit into mineral water, as my kids eat fruit anyway, so I don't have to do anything to make them want to eat it. But then I thought why not, I changed how I viewed this drink. Now I make it for them for dinner, where they drink the mineral water (instead of juice), then they have the fruit for dessert.
They are also loving these cups I bought for them, if they don't want to eat the fruit straight after dinner, they just put it back in the fridge to have later.
So if you are looking at trying to lower your kids fruit juice intake and increase their fresh fruit intake, this is a really good idea.
You can also make these in large jugs in summer for parties and serve your guests beautiful looking drinks that taste great and are good for them.
As I come up with new fruit combinations, I'll post them.

Recipe
There is no recipe here, no set quantity of fruit that needs to be used. I tend to slice the citrus and halve strawberries. I keep other berries whole, you can slice grapes in half. Whatever you like.
Here are a few combos I have made so far
Grape, Blueberry and Lemon
Raspberry and Lime
Strawberry and Lemon
Strawberry, Blueberry and Lemon
Strawberry, Orange and Mint
