Base Soda

Method

Base Soda

  1. 1

    Combine flavor with carbonated water

    Chill a tall glass. Add the chilled carbonated water to the glass first to minimize foaming when adding other ingredients.

  2. 2

    Gently stir in the lemon-lime syrup (or 2 tbs commercial lemon-lime syrup substitute). Add the fresh lemon and lime juices. Stir gently once or twice to incorporate without losing too much carbonation.

Sweetening & Brightness (adjust to taste)

  1. 3

    Taste the soda. If you prefer it sweeter, add up to 1 tsp simple syrup and stir gently. For a slightly sharper, more soda-like bite, add a pinch of citric acid and stir just enough to dissolve.

Garnish & Serve

  1. 4

    Fill the glass with ice cubes (if not already), leaving room to prevent overflow. Garnish with a lemon and lime wedge on the rim and an optional mint sprig.

  2. 5

    Serve immediately chilled. Stir lightly before sipping to re-distribute flavor if the syrup has settled.
