Скачать или смотреть Best Homemade Sprite Ever! 🍋

Store-bought Sprite ain’t even real soda anymore—homemade Sprite with fresh lemon, lime, sugar, and bubbles puts that canned stuff to shame. 🥤🍋 Who’s brave enough to admit McDonald’s Sprite only hits ‘cause of the syrup ratio, not the brand?

Ingredients

Zest of 3 lemons
Zest of 6 limes
1 cup sugar
Roughly 1 cup boiling water
Juice of ½ lime (per glass)
Sparkling water, chilled
Ice

Instructions

Place the sugar in a medium bowl. Using your hands, rub the lemon and lime zest into the sugar until it’s fragrant and fully incorporated.

Pour in 1 cup of boiling water and whisk until the sugar dissolves. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into another bowl to remove the zest, creating a lemon-lime syrup. Let cool.

To serve, fill a glass with ice. Add about ¼ cup of the syrup (or more to taste), the juice of ½ lime, and top with sparkling water. Stir gently and enjoy your homemade Sprite.

Info:

Homemade Sprite loses fizz quickly because it can’t trap high-pressure CO₂ like factory-sealed cans or bottles, but it makes up for it by being fresher and free of preservatives or excess corn syrup.
