If you must, take a bottle of carbonated water from Trader Joe's, squeeze, juice of one lemon (preferably Meyers instead of Eureka), add simple syrup to your taste. You have a very nice "homey" carbonated soft drink. Simple syrup is 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup sugar. microwave about 30seconds to a minute. if not dissolve stir carefully as the mixture is very hot. Chill first before adding to the lemonade. The carbonated water from trader joe has minerals in it and it does have a distinct taste. little bit of salt and other stuff. I can't figure it out but it makes for a really refreshing soft drink.

And good for all of you to get off the DC and regular soft drinks with high fructose corn syrup. BAD STUFF!!
