Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Syrup

    In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Citrus Juices

    Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the lemon juice and lime juice until well combined.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Flavoring

    Add the citric acid and natural lemon-lime flavoring to the syrup mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Mix with Carbonated Water

    In a large pitcher, combine the syrup with the carbonated water. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to lose the carbonation.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the homemade sprite over the ice. Serve immediately for a refreshing drink.
