Method
Soda Base
- 1
Measure chilled components
Chill a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill glass with ice and discard water. Make sure the carbonated water and cola syrup are well chilled before mixing to preserve carbonation.

Combine syrup and carbonated water
Pour 2 fl oz of cola syrup into the chilled glass. Slowly add 12 fl oz of chilled carbonated water down the side of the glass to reduce foaming and preserve fizz. Stir gently once with a long bar spoon or straw to combine — one or two slow turns is enough.

Taste and adjust
Taste the drink. If you prefer it sweeter or more intensely flavored, add up to 0.5 fl oz more cola syrup and stir gently. If it's too sweet, add a splash more carbonated water (0.5–1 fl oz).
Garnish & Optional Add-ins

Garnish with a fresh lime wedge on the rim or squeezed into the drink for a citrus accent. Serve immediately with a straw. If storing syrup or concentrate, keep refrigerated and use within manufacturer recommendations.
