Soda Base
Make a quick citrus syrup
In a small heatproof bowl or measuring cup, combine the granulated sugar with the 2 tablespoons cold water. Stir until most of the sugar is wet. If you prefer the sugar fully dissolved, microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring between, until the sugar dissolves (about 30–45 seconds), or warm gently on the stovetop until dissolved. Allow to cool slightly.
Add citrus flavors
Stir the fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, lime zest, and lemon zest into the cooled sugar syrup. Taste and adjust: add another 1/2 teaspoon lemon or lime juice if you want brighter citrus. The syrup should be mildly sweet and noticeably citrusy but not overpowering.
Combine with carbonated water
Fill a tall glass with the ice cubes. Pour the citrus syrup over the ice. Slowly pour 2 cups (about 480 ml) of very cold carbonated water into the glass to preserve fizz. Stir gently once or twice with a long spoon to combine (avoid vigorous stirring to keep carbonation).
