Sodas

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a medium saucepan, combine the carbonated water and granulated sugar over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Dissolve Sugar

    Stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  3. 3

    Mix Lime Juice and Zest

    In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lime juice and lime zest. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Sugar Syrup

    Once the sugar syrup has cooled, add it to the pitcher with the lime juice and zest. Stir until well mixed.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Mint

    Gently crush the fresh mint leaves in your hands before adding them to the pitcher. This will release their aroma and flavor. Stir to combine.

    Serve with Ice

    Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the soda mixture over the ice. Leave some room at the top for stirring.

    Add Fruit Purees (Optional)

    If desired, add fruit purees to the glasses for added flavor and sweetness. Stir gently to combine.
