Method
Syrup and Water Base
- 1
Chill and prepare glass
Choose a 16 fl oz serving glass. Add 1 cup of ice to the glass to chill and help maintain carbonation after pouring.
- 2
Combine syrup and carbonated water
Measure 2 fl oz of fountain syrup (or follow the syrup manufacturer's recommended ratio) and pour it over the ice in the glass. Slowly add 12 fl oz of chilled carbonated water directly over the syrup. Pour gently down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming.
- 3
Lightly stir
Using a long spoon or stir stick, gently stir once or twice to combine syrup and carbonated water. Avoid vigorous stirring to preserve fizz.
Optional Add-ins & Garnish
- 4
Add a fresh lemon or lime wedge on the rim or squeeze the wedge into the drink if a citrus note is desired. Drop in a maraschino cherry for classic presentation. If you prefer sweeter, add up to 1 tsp simple syrup and stir gently. Garnish with a mint sprig if desired.
