PRO TIPS

  • Cute cups make your drink taste better. This is a fact.
  • When pouring your soda, try pouring with the glass at an angle. I have found that this helps the fizz/carbonation to fizzle down more quickly.

Recommended Tools

  • Cup: Glass or stainless steel to keep your precious cold!
  • Pebble ice: you can buy bagged pebble ice from Sonic and Chick Fil A! The ice maker on our fridge broke awhile back, so we got a counter top pebble ice maker. BEST PURCHASE EVER. We use it multiple times a day!
  • Juicer: I use my hand juicer ALL the time…and not just for making fun sodas! It’s amazing the difference freshly squeezed citrus can add to your cooking!
  • Syrups & purees: I can usually find a decent selection at my local World Market and Smart and Final. I’ve also put together an Amazon list for easy shopping! I have found that Torani and Syruvia have the best flavors/selections. If you have others you like, let me know in the comments what you’ve found!

Make Your Own: Mixed Soda Ratios

The possibilities are seriously endless with making your own mixed soda! Here are some easy ratios to get you started:

  • 1 can soda of choice
  • 1 can soda: 1/2 pump puree or syrup
    • if using multiple flavors, consider doing 1/4 pump of each flavor as to not overpower the drink
  • Juice from 1/4 of a citrus
  • 1 Tbsp coconut cream, vanilla cream, or half & half/heavy cream
  • Ice ice, baby!

Let me know in the comments which one is your favorite! And don’t worry…there will be plenty more soda recipes to come. I LOVE me some diet soda!
