Tips for making the perfect Strawberry Peach Soda
- Use fresh, ripe peaches and strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Adjust the amount of cane sugar based on your desired sweetness; you can reduce it if your fruit is very sweet.
- Chill your syrup and sparkling water beforehand to enhance the refreshing experience of the soda.
- Experiment with adding mint leaves or basil for a unique twist on the classic flavors.
- If you prefer a less syrupy drink, increase the amount of sparkling water to suit your taste.
- For a fun twist, try adding a splash of your favorite liqueur to create an adult version of the soda.
Variations and substitutions
You can easily customize your Strawberry Peach Soda by experimenting with different fruits and flavors. Consider substituting the peaches and strawberries with other fruits like raspberries, and blackberries, or even tropical options like mango and pineapple for a refreshing twist.
If you’re looking for a sugar substitute, consider using honey, agave syrup, or a sugar-free sweetener to cater to your dietary preferences.
Additionally, try incorporating herbal infusions, such as a hint of rosemary or thyme, for an herbal note that complements the fruity flavors beautifully. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to craft a soda tailored to your palate!

- For an elegant touch, serve in champagne flutes as a sparkling non-alcoholic option for brunch.
- Accompany with light desserts, such as sorbet or fruit tarts, to complement the fruity flavors of the soda.

Frequently asked questions
How long can I store my Strawberry Peach Syrup?
Your strawberry peach syrup can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one month. Always check for any changes in smell or appearance before use to ensure freshness.
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches and strawberries if fresh ones are unavailable. Just be aware that the texture might differ slightly after cooking.
What can I do if my syrup is too sweet?
If your syrup is too sweet for your taste, you can dilute it with additional sparkling water to balance the sweetness. Alternatively, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to enhance the flavors without increasing sweetness.
Can I make this soda without a soda maker?
Absolutely, you can prepare this soda without a soda maker by simply using store-bought sparkling water or seltzer. However, we recommend using a soda maker to create your sparkling water at home.
This approach helps you avoid harmful chemicals like PFAS, commonly found in canned seltzers. By making your own sparkling water, you not only enjoy a fresher taste but also minimize your exposure to potentially harmful substances.
Can I add other flavors to my soda?
Definitely! Feel free to experiment by adding herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or other fruit purees to your soda for unique flavor combinations.
