How to Make Sparkling Lemonade

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely. Once cooled, transfer it to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Fill a large pitcher with ice.
  5. Add 1/2 cup of the cooled simple syrup to the pitcher.
  6. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice.
  7. Top with 4 cups of chilled club soda.
  8. Gently stir to combine.
  9. Garnish with lemon and lime slices. Add fresh mint sprigs for an extra touch!
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
