Ingredients
  

For the Soda Syrup
  • 12 cherries, halved & pitted provides natural sweetness and fruity flavor
  • 1/2 cup water used to create syrup and dissolve sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar sweetens the soda and helps create syrup base
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract adds aromatic depth to the drink
For the Fizz
  • soda water adjust based on desired fizziness

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Fine Mesh Sieve
  • tall glasses
  • Measuring cup

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 12 halved and pitted cherries, 1/2 cup of water, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Place over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar completely. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Increase the heat slightly and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes. Mash the cherries gently to allow their flavor to infuse fully into the syrup.
  3. Carefully strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or measuring cup, extracting as much syrup as possible.
  4. In tall glasses, pour a few tablespoons of the cherry syrup, then top off with soda water and stir gently to combine.
  5. Fill each glass with ice, pour in your fizzy Cherry Vanilla Soda, and garnish with a fresh cherry or a sprig of mint.
