Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
200g
2 limes
140g
1 cup orange juice
200g
2 lemons
220g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Citrus Fruits:
- Roll each lime and lemon on the countertop with your palm to release the juices.
- Cut the lemons and limes in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or by hand, removing any seeds. You should get approximately 1/3 cup of lime juice and 1/3 cup of lemon juice.
2. Make Citrus Syrup:
- In a small saucepan, combine the 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves, creating a simple syrup.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
3. Mix the Juices:
- In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice.
- Stir well to mix the citrus juices together.
4. Combine with Syrup:
- Once the simple syrup has cooled, add it to the pitcher with the mixed citrus juices.
- Stir well to ensure the syrup is thoroughly incorporated.
5. Add Sparkling Water:
- Just before serving, add the cold sparkling water or club soda to the pitcher.
- Give it a gentle stir to mix, ensuring not to lose too much carbonation.
6. Serve:
- Fill glasses with ice cubes if desired.
- Pour the fresh citrus soda into the glasses.
- Garnish with fresh citrus slices or mint leaves, if desired.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing homemade fresh citrus soda!

Tips:

- For a less sweet drink, you can reduce the amount of sugar to your preference.

- Chill the citrus juices and sparkling water before mixing for an icy cold soda.

- You can substitute some of the citrus juice with other fruit juices like grapefruit or pineapple for a unique twist.

- Add fresh mint leaves or a splash of coconut water for an extra refreshing flavor.

- Serve with ice cubes and garnish with citrus slices or a sprig of mint for an attractive presentation.

Enjoy your homemade fresh citrus soda! With its bright and invigorating flavors, this drink is sure to become a favorite.
