Frequently Asked Questions
What syrup works best?
For the best results, I recommend using the original Torani brand of strawberry syrup.
Can I substitute sparkling water with soda water or club soda?
Yes, you can substitute sparkling water with seltzer water in this recipe. However, I don't recommend using club soda as it contains salt, which can alter the flavor of the Italian soda.
Storage Tips
I recommend to consume the drink immediately after preparation as it may lose its carbonation over time, resulting in a flat beverage.
