Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Base Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, phosphoric acid, and caffeine. Stir gently to mix without losing too much carbonation.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    To the base mixture, add the natural and artificial flavors, vanilla extract, cherry syrup, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Finalizing

  1. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and to serve cold.

  2. 4

    Serve

    Pour the chilled mixture into serving glasses over ice. Optionally, garnish with a slice of lemon or a cherry on top.
