Soda Base

Method

Prep

1

Chill glass

Place a Collins or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice to chill while preparing ingredients.

2

If using house flavored syrup (ginger, hibiscus, rosemary-citrus, etc.), have it at hand. To make quick ginger syrup: simmer equal parts sugar and water with a 1–2 inch sliced fresh ginger root for 5 minutes, cool and strain.

Assembly

3

Build the soda

Add ice to the chilled glass until roughly 3/4 full (about 1 cup). Pour in the citrus juice (0.5 oz) and simple syrup (0.5 oz).

4

Add the house flavored syrup (0.75 oz). If using bitters, add 2 dashes now. Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon to combine the syrups and citrus with the ice.

5

Slowly top with 8 oz club soda or sparkling water so the drink remains effervescent. Give a single gentle stir to integrate the soda with the flavor base.

6

Finish & garnish

Express oils from a citrus zest or peel strip over the drink and drop it in. Slap the herb sprig between your palms to release aroma and place it as a garnish. Add a citrus wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw if desired.

Notes

7

Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing the simple syrup or flavored syrup. Swap the flavored syrup to change the daily house soda profile (e.g., ginger for spicy, hibiscus for floral-tart, rosemary-citrus for herbaceous). For a low-calorie version, omit simple syrup and use 0.75 oz flavored syrup made with a sugar alternative.
