Try It This Way: Flavored Seltzer Combos
Once you master the flavored syrups basics, play around with different flavor combinations. Try shaking up a few different syrups, and then mix and match them! Here are three of our favorite flavor pairings.
Strawberry-Mint Seltzer
Use 2 teaspoons Mint Syrup and 1 teaspoon Strawberry Syrup per 1 cup of plain seltzer.
Pineapple-Lime Seltzer
Use 2 teaspoons Pineapple Syrup and 1 teaspoon Lime Syrup per 1 cup of plain seltzer.
Raspberry-Ginger Seltzer
Use 1½ teaspoons Raspberry Syrup and 1½ teaspoons Ginger Syrup per 1 cup of plain seltzer.
Seltzer, then Syrup
When making your flavored seltzer, be sure to add the seltzer to the glass first, and then add the syrup. The syrup is denser than the seltzer, which means it will naturally fall to the bottom of the glass. This helps to gently mix your drink—you’ll need to stir just a tiny bit, and you’ll keep your beverage bubblier.
If you make your drink the other way around (syrup, then seltzer), you’ll have to stir a lot more to mix them together, and you’ll wind up losing lots of your bubbles!
