Method

Prep

1

Chill and measure

Chill the club soda and sparkling water in the refrigerator beforehand. Measure out lemon and lime juice and simple syrup. Prepare ice, a lemon peel strip and a lime wheel for garnish.

Build the Drink

2

Fill a tall glass about three-quarters full with ice (about 1 cup).

3

Add the fresh lemon juice (1 tbsp), fresh lime juice (1 tbsp), and simple syrup (start with 1 tsp). If you prefer a sweeter, more classic Sprite-like flavor, add up to 2 tsp total, adjusting to taste.

4

Pour in 1/2 cup chilled club soda and 1/2 cup chilled sparkling water directly over the ice and citrus mixture. Gently stir twice with a bar spoon to combine—avoid vigorous stirring to keep carbonation.

5

Express the lemon peel over the glass: hold the peel over the drink and give it a quick twist to release aromatic oils, then drop the peel into the glass for added aroma.

6

Garnish the glass with the lime wheel or wedge on the rim.

Serve

7

Taste and adjust sweetness if needed: add an additional 1/2 to 1 tsp simple syrup if you want it sweeter, gently stir once, and serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
