They are all served in the beautiful Ball Heritage Blue jars.
Soda Making at Home
To make homemade soda all you need is two ingredients.
Cherry flavored simple syrup, which is very easy to make.
You will also need club soda or if you own a Soda Stream you can make carbonated water or sparkling water at home.
You can make any flavor of homemade soda that you like after you make a fruit-flavored simple syrup.
By changing up the type of fruit you use to make the simple syrup you can make any flavored soda you like.
Since we already have made our Sweet Black Cherry Simple syrup we will be making a glass of Black Cherry soda with it today.
Fill, preferably a beautiful Ball Heritage Blue Mason Jar with ice.
Add 3-4 tablespoons of cherry simple syrup to the jar. Pour club soda in and stir. Look at what a pretty layered drink this Black Cherry Soda recipe makes before you stir it.
Right before serving you can stir up the Black Cherry Soda or you can serve it this way and let your guests stir it as they drink it. The layered drink look comes from the cherry simple syrup sinking to the bottom of the glass. The simple syrup is heavier than the club soda so it stays on the bottom of the mason jar until you stir it and it combines with the club soda.
