Method
Prepare Glass and Ice
Chill and fill
If desired, chill the serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. Fill the glass with 1 cup of ice, leaving room at the top for the liquids and a little headspace for carbonation.
Mix Fountain Drink
Add syrup
Measure 2 fl oz of your chosen soda syrup and pour it over the ice. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add up to 1 teaspoon of simple syrup or extra flavored syrup now.
Add carbonated water
Slowly pour 12 fl oz of cold carbonated water down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming. Pour gently until the liquid reaches about 1/2 inch from the rim.
Combine gently
Using a long spoon or straw, give the drink one or two gentle strokes to integrate the syrup with the carbonated water. Avoid vigorous stirring to retain fizz.
Finish and Serve
Taste and adjust: taste a small sip. If it needs more sweetness, add additional 1/2–1 tsp of syrup and stir gently. If you want a stronger flavor, add up to 1/2 fl oz more syrup and mix gently.
Serve immediately to enjoy maximum carbonation.
