Syrup Base

Carbonated Water

Optional Ingredients

Method

Prepare Syrup Base

  1. 1

    Make Simple Syrup

    In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. This will create a simple syrup.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of caramel color, 1 teaspoon of phosphoric acid, 0.1 teaspoon of caffeine, and 1 tablespoon of natural flavors. Mix well until fully combined.

Combine Ingredients

  1. 3

    Mix Syrup with Carbonated Water

    In a large pitcher, combine the prepared syrup base with 4 cups of carbonated water. Stir gently to mix without losing too much carbonation.

  2. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or carbonation as desired. You can add more syrup for sweetness or more carbonated water for a lighter drink.

Serve

  1. 5

    Serve Cold

    In serving glasses, add ice if desired and pour the Coca-Cola mixture over the ice. Garnish with a lemon or lime wedge if using.
