Make It Your Own
For a crowd: Batch the low-calorie base in a chilled pitcher and top each serving with sparkling water. Keep syrups optional so guests can adjust to taste.
Easy swaps: Use an unsweetened sparkling water in place of sweet soda. Use berries, cucumber, or citrus peel for flavor without adding much sweetness.
