Method
Prepare Base
- 1
Chill and mix base
Ensure carbonated water is well chilled. In a measuring pitcher, combine 4 cups chilled carbonated water with 1/2 cup simple syrup. Stir gently once or twice to incorporate the syrup without knocking out too much carbonation.
Add Flavor
- 2
Measure flavor
Add 3 tablespoons of your chosen fruit syrup or soda concentrate to the carbonated water and simple syrup mixture. If using a strong concentrate (col a concentrate, etc.), start with 1 tablespoon and taste, then adjust to preference.

Adjust sweetness and brightness
Taste the soda. If it needs more sweetness, add up to 1 additional tablespoon of simple syrup. If it feels flat, squeeze a thin slice of lemon or lime into the mixture for acidity and brightness.
Serve
- 4
Assemble glass

Garnish and finish
Garnish with the citrus slice on the rim and an optional mint sprig. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring spoon to preserve carbonation.
