Soda Pop or in the classy alternative "Italian Soda"

Sometimes you just gotta have a soda pop!

I think the problem with diet soda is that they put too much of the yucky (there goes that word!) syrup in it, and it has a major aftertaste.
However, if you make your own soda, you can determine the amount of syrup that goes into it. I really like Torani syrups, I love the ones with real sugar, but since I can't have that!! (that's just the detox talking), I have made friends with their sugar free line.
If you are feeling lazy, just open a bottle or can of seltzer and pour a little out, add in some Torani's (a tablespoons per 12 ounces does it for me, but you experiment and stir with a straw.
If you feel energetic and creative, squeeze some lemon or lime juice in as well and serve with crushed iced in a beautiful glass.
This syrup, can be added to your unsweetened ice tea or lemonade as well.

We just ordered the Red Raspberry at work, but I think I'm going to buy the lemon and the Lime flavors to make "Arnold Palmers" and to mix the two for a 7-Up/Sprite taste.
I'll keep you posted on taste combinations...

Enjoy!
