Products used in Strawberry Basil Sour Soda
Can I use different vinegar in this recipe?
Absolutely! While apple cider vinegar adds a tangy depth and health benefits, you can experiment with white balsamic vinegar for a milder, slightly sweet tang or rice vinegar for a softer acidity. Avoid regular white vinegar—it’s too harsh for this drink’s delicate flavours.
Can I substitute lemon juice for vinegar in this recipe?
Yes, lemon juice works well if you prefer a brighter citrusy tang. It’s less intense than vinegar, so you might want to add a bit more syrup to balance the acidity. Keep in mind that lemon juice gives a slightly different flavour profile, but it’s still delicious.
What other syrup flavors would work in this drink?
Oh, so many options! A raspberry-lime syrup would be amazing, or even a honey-ginger syrup for a spicy kick. Blueberry lavender or a classic mint syrup could also pair beautifully with the tangy vinegar and sparkling water. Feel free to experiment!
