Syrup base

Final assembly (32 oz yield)

Method

Prepare syrup base

  1. 1

    Make citrus-vanilla syrup

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture is clear. Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold (about 10 minutes).

  2. 2

    Optional chill

    If you have time, place the syrup in the fridge to chill for at least 10 minutes so it blends smoothly when assembled.

Assemble and serve

  1. 3

    Combine syrup with sparkling water

    In a 32-ounce bottle or glass, pour 1 cup of the cooled syrup (prepared from the base) and add 3 cups of cold sparkling water. Stir gently to preserve fizz.

  2. 4

    Finish and serve

    Taste and adjust if desired. Add ice if you like, and garnish with a lemon wheel or a sprig of mint for presentation. Serve immediately.
