Method
Soda Base
- 1
Chill ingredients
Ensure the carbonated water and cola syrup are well chilled before mixing. Cold ingredients preserve carbonation and give the best flavor.
- 2
Measure 12 fl oz of cold carbonated water into a clean glass or soda fountain nozzle. Use a tall glass (12–16 oz) for a single serving.
- 3
Add 2 fl oz of cola syrup to the carbonated water. Pour the syrup gently down the side of the glass to minimize foaming and loss of carbonation.
- 4
Stir gently with a long spoon or straw once or twice to combine. Avoid vigorous stirring to preserve fizz. Taste and adjust: if you prefer sweeter or stronger cola flavor, add up to 0.5 fl oz more syrup and stir gently.
Optional Additions

- 7
Drop in a maraschino cherry for a classic diner look.
