Method
Prepare Simple Syrup (if not pre-made)
Make simple syrup
Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the liquid is clear. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature before using. Chill if making ahead.
Mixing the Soda
Combine flavor components
In a large pitcher, add the chilled club soda (4 cups) and cold sparkling water (1 cup). Pour in the 1/4 cup cooled simple syrup, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. If using, add 2 teaspoons aromatic bitters for complexity.
Stir gently
Gently stir the mixture 6–8 times with a long spoon to combine. Stirring should be slow and careful to preserve carbonation. Do not shake.
Serve
Prepare glasses
Divide ice cubes between two tall glasses (about 1 cup ice per glass).
Pour soda
Carefully pour the flavored soda into the prepared glasses, dividing evenly.
