Sparkling Base

Optional Finishing & Garnish

Method

Sparkling Base

1

Chill liquids

Ensure the club soda (and additional sparkling water if using) are chilled in the refrigerator. Cold carbonation retains fizz better.

2

Pour 1 cup chilled club soda into a tall glass. If you want a stronger fizzy mouthfeel, top with the additional 1/2 cup sparkling water. Leave room for ice and juices.

Citrus & Sweeteners

3

Add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice directly to the glass with the sparkling water.

4

Stir in 2 teaspoons simple syrup. Taste and adjust: increase syrup by 1 teaspoon increments if you prefer sweeter, or reduce if you prefer tarter. Stir gently once—avoid vigorous stirring to preserve carbonation.

Optional Finishing & Garnish

5

Add about 1 cup of ice cubes to the glass if serving chilled. Lightly slap the mint between your palms to release aroma and tuck 1–2 sprigs into the drink or lay on top. Garnish the rim with a lemon wheel or lime wedge.

6

Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick so the drink can be lightly re-stirred before drinking if needed.
