Notes

Store simple syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Always use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled for the best taste.
The drink should be served right away while the bubbles are still lively.
For a stronger lemon flavor, add a few drops of lemon bitters.
A sugar rim can add extra sweetness - rub a lemon wedge on the rim and dip in sugar before making the drink.
