4 1/4 cup (1 liters) Carbonated water
1 1/4 cup (0.3 liters) High Fructose Corn Syrup
1 1/3 tbsp (0.02 liters) Caramel Color
2.03 tsp (0.01 liters) Phosphoric Acid
1.01 tsp (0.005 liters) caffeine
1.01 tsp (0.005 liters) Natural Flavors
0.41 tsp (0.002 liters) Citric acid

1
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing container, pour in 1 liter of carbonated water. Make sure the water is well chilled to enhance the carbonation.
2
Add Sweetener
Slowly add 0.3 liters of high fructose corn syrup to the carbonated water, stirring gently to combine without losing carbonation.
3
Incorporate Color and Flavor
Add 0.02 liters of caramel color to the mixture. Stir gently until the color is uniformly distributed. Next, add 0.005 liters of caffeine, 0.005 liters of natural flavors, and 0.002 liters of citric acid, mixing well after each addition.
4
Add Acid
Pour in 0.01 liters of phosphoric acid to the mixture and give it a final gentle stir. This will balance the flavor and add acidity.
5
Chill and Serve
Place the mixture into a refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Pour into glasses over ice if desired.
