Method

Soda Base

1

Chill and prepare

Place a glass in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes to chill. Keep the carbonated water cold until ready to assemble to retain fizz.

2

Add ice cubes to the chilled glass, filling about three-quarters full.

3

Pour the fresh lemon juice (1 tbs) and fresh lime juice (1 tbs) over the ice.

4

Add simple syrup (1 tbs). If you prefer a sugar-free drink, omit the syrup or use a calorie-free sweetener to taste.

5

Carefully pour 1 cup (about 240 ml) of cold carbonated water into the glass over a spoon held just above the liquid to minimize foam and preserve carbonation. Stir gently once with a bar spoon to combine — avoid vigorous stirring to keep the soda fizzy.

6

Taste and adjust: add another 1/2 tbs simple syrup for more sweetness or another 1/2 tbs lime/lemon for more citrus brightness, if desired.

Garnish (optional)

7

Slide a lemon wheel or twist and a lime wheel or wedge onto the rim or float them on top of the drink.

8

Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer so the drink retains its carbonation.
