Homemade Lemon-Lime Soda Ingredients
Prepare for the delightful journey of crafting your own Lemon-Lime Soda by gathering the following ingredients:
- Simple Syrup: If you don’t have any on hand, create your own simple syrup for use in this beverage, as well as in cocktails, cakes, and cupcakes.
- Lime Juice: We highly recommend using freshly squeezed lime juice for an authentic flavor. Squeeze approximately one lime, yielding about 1/4 cup. (Avoid using store-bought bottled lime juice for the best results.)
- Sparkling Water: Fizzy water, also known as sparkling water, is essentially carbonated water infused with carbon dioxide gas pressure. Alternatively, you can use club soda, seltzer water, or natural sparkling mineral water.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) simple syrup
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice (approximately 1 lime, juiced)
- 2 cups (480 ml) sparkling water
- Lemons and limes, as needed for flavor and garnish
