1
Create the Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Add Flavor
Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and add 1 cup of lemon juice and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Mix well.
3
Cool the Syrup
Let the syrup cool to room temperature. If using food coloring, add it at this stage until the desired color is achieved.

In a large pitcher, combine the cooled syrup with 4 cups of carbonated water. Stir gently to combine.
5
Add Fruit Puree
Stir in 1 cup of your chosen fruit puree to the mixture for added flavor and color.

Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
