Method
Prepare syrup base
- 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).

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
- 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.

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.
