Soda Base

Citrus & Aromatics (optional)

Ice & Garnish

Method

Prepare Glass

1

Chill and fill

Chill a highball or long glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes if desired. Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the glass to keep the drink cold and properly diluted.

Mix Soda

2

Measure and combine

Pour 12 fl oz of cold carbonated water into a separate pitcher or measuring cup. Add 1 fl oz of cola syrup concentrate. If you want a sweeter, heavier cola, add up to 0.5 fl oz of simple syrup (or the equivalent sweetener).

3

Stir gently

Gently fold the syrup into the carbonated water with a long spoon—stir only 6–8 strokes to combine, preserving carbonation. Avoid vigorous stirring to keep the drink fizzy.

Finish & Serve

4

Taste and adjust sweetness or cola intensity. If too strong, top with a splash (0.5–1 fl oz) more carbonated water. If too weak, add 0.25–0.5 fl oz more cola syrup.

5

Pour the mixed cola over the ice-filled glass. Squeeze a fresh lime wedge or lemon wedge over the drink for a bright citrus note, then drop the wedge in if desired. Garnish with a maraschino cherry if using.

6

Serve immediately with a straw. Enjoy cold.
