Questions
How do I keep it fizzy at a party?
Keep the base and the bubbles separate. Put the base in a dispenser and the sparkling water on ice beside it, so each glass gets fresh fizz.
Can I make it for more people?
Yes. Use the servings button next to the ingredients. Every amount updates automatically, from 1 glass up to 200.
