Method
Base Syrup
- 1
Mix simple syrup and flavored syrup
Combine 1/4 cup simple syrup and 2 tablespoons flavored syrup in a small measuring cup or mixing glass. Stir briefly until homogeneous. This is your fountain soda concentrate; adjust flavored syrup amount by ±1 tablespoon for stronger or milder flavor.
Carbonation & Finish
- 2
Prepare glass and ice
Fill a 12-ounce glass with about 1 cup of fresh ice. Leaving room at the top ensures no overflow when adding carbonated water.
- 3
Add concentrate
Pour the prepared syrup concentrate over the ice, letting it run down the sides to distribute flavor throughout the glass.
- 4
Top with carbonated water
Slowly pour 12 ounces chilled carbonated water into the glass over the back of a spoon or down the side to preserve carbonation. Stir gently once with a long spoon or straw — 2–3 slow stirs — to blend without flattening the soda.
