Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of sweeteners in this recipe?
Yes, you can use different types of sweeteners in this recipe. Options include white sugar, or sugar alternatives like monkfruit, stevia, erythritol, or a combination of the above, as long as they measure 1:1 with sugar.
How long does the homemade sprite last once mixed?
Once mixed, the homemade sprite will maintain its carbonation for around 30-45 minutes, just like a canned sprite. After that, it may begin to lose its fizziness.
Is it possible to make a sugar-free version of this homemade sprite?
Yes, it's absolutely possible to make a sugar-free version of this homemade sprite. Simply opt for a sugar alternative as your sweetener of choice.
Storage Tips
I recommend to enjoy immediately after mixing. Leaving it for an extended period may result in a loss of carbonation.

I am definitely interested in your idea – I have experimented a little in this vein but your are encouraging me to go further.
I wanted to comment on your description of one of the ingredients, however. The text says you used Monkfruit but your images show Lakanto. Lakanto (which I use and love) is a blend of Erythritol and Monkfruit. Monkfruit is much, much, much sweeter than sugar and if a person used 100% pure Monkfruit to make this recipe it would be amazingly sweet.
If you already know this and are okay with things as it then please accept my apologies for intruding into your space and lecturing you. If you were unfamiliar, please excuse me anyway but I hope the observation is helpful.
Hi Marianne! Thanks for the comment and you’re 100% correct! Lakanto is an erythritol monkfruit blend but we assumed people would understand what we were referring to if we just stated monkfruit with the Lakanto package (to keep things simple).
In the future though, we will keep that in mind and explain the differences between 100% monkfruit extract and monkfruit blends!
