Ice
Optional: 1 teaspoon half-and-half(double cream) per glass, to make it an Italian Cream Soda.
Instructions
First, head over to the recipe for mango syrup and whip up a batch. You just need 10 minutes and fresh or frozen mango, water, sugar, and vanilla.
To serve:
Fill a glass with ice and add 2 tablespoons of mango soda syrup, or more or less to taste (amount will depend on the size of your glass).
Top up with club soda.
TIP: To make an Italian Cream Mango Soda, stir in 1 teaspoon half-and-half (or double cream) before serving.
Notes
Make sure the syrup is fully cooled and chilled in the fridge before adding it into a glass with soda water.
The level of sweetness depends on the person and if you’re making a cocktail, so more or less syrup may be needed in each glass.
Homemade soda is best consumed immediately and tastes best if it’s mixed right before serving. This will also help keep it carbonated for as long as possible.
Variations
Muddle in some fresh mint or basil for a fresh herb take on this summer drink.
Use frozen fruit as the ice cubes for additional fruit flavor.
Add a pinch of cinnamon for a slightly warm flavor that will pair well with the vanilla.
Use flavored sparkling water for additional flavor with no extra sweetener.
