Method
Syrup Base
Chill and prepare
Ensure the carbonated water is well chilled. If you are using granulated sugar instead of pre-made simple syrup, dissolve the sugar in 1 tablespoon of warm water first to make a quick syrup, then cool slightly before using.
Combine syrup and carbonated water
In a tall mixing glass or pitcher, pour the chilled carbonated water. Add the high-flavor soda syrup (1 tablespoon) and the sugar/simple syrup (1 tablespoon). Gently stir once or twice with a long spoon just enough to integrate the syrup without flattening the carbonation. Avoid vigorous stirring.
Adjust brightness
Add the fresh lemon or lime juice (1 teaspoon) if using, to brighten the flavor. Taste and adjust: add up to another teaspoon of syrup for more sweetness or another 1/2 teaspoon of juice for more tartness.
Garnish & Extras
Fill a serving glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup). Pour the prepared fountain drink mixture over the ice, leaving a small headspace. Garnish with a citrus slice on the rim and a mint sprig if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
