Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Combine Sugar and Water

    In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of carbonated water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. This creates a simple syrup.

  2. 2

    Add Flavoring

    Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in 1 cup of your chosen flavoring syrup until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix with Carbonated Water

    In a large pitcher, pour the simple syrup mixture into 2 cups of carbonated water. Stir gently to combine. Be careful not to stir too vigorously, as this can cause the carbonation to dissipate.

  4. 4

    Serve Over Ice

    Fill glasses with 2 cups of ice. Pour the soda mixture over the ice until the glasses are full.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish each glass with a wedge of lemon or lime for added flavor and presentation.
