Recipe Tips

  • Let the syrup cool completely before adding it to the soda. Hot syrup poured over cold carbonated liquid causes the fizz to release rapidly, and the drink goes flat faster.
  • A squeeze bottle makes portioning quick and easy, especially for multiple servings. It also stores neatly in the refrigerator door.
  • The syrup is intentionally sweet and concentrated, so a small amount goes a long way. Add more or less per glass depending on how intensely flavored you want the finished drink.
