Homemade Lemon-Lime Soda

Making your own drinks at home lets you have control over what ingredients are added. You can make this lemon-lime soda a little sweeter or not as sweet, according to your preference. I even used homemade simple syrup to really take charge of what is going into the drink.

Homemade Lemon-Lime Soda Ingredients

Simple Syrup: If you don’t have any on hand, make your own simple syrup to use in this drink, as well as in cocktails, on cakes, and on cupcakes!

Lime Juice: I highly recommend using fresh lime juice. One lime (I squeezed every last drop) was about 1/4 cup. (Using storebought, bottled lime juice is not recommended.)

Sparkling Water: Sparkling water (fizzy water) is simply carbonated water (water that has been infused with carbon dioxide gas pressure). You could also use club soda, seltzer water, or natural sparkling mineral water.

Adding Ingredients to Make Homemade Lemon Lime Soda

How to Make Homemade Lemon-Lime Soda

This recipe could not be easier. And, it’s fresh, refreshing, and yummy. In addition, your kids can drink it because you know what each and every ingredient is. To make the soda, simply stir all the ingredients together in a pitcher. Then, pour the mixture into a glass over ice. Add some lemon and lime wedges to add more flavor and use as a garnish.

This recipe is on the sweeter side (which I prefer). However, if you do not want the beverage quite as sweet, start with just a half cup of simple syrup. You can always add more if desired.
