We ran out of most prepared drinkable juices (orange juice, and when things started getting slim, carrot) at least two weeks ago. After coming home from driving about for various reasons, I had a rowdy thirst for a taste that threatened to be unquenchable--water or milk simply would not do alone--my taste buds desired a far more aggressive taste.
Searching the fridge I found my dad's bottle of club soda. Until now, its sole purpose in the house was for his new favorite drink, the mojito (Bacardi, bruised mint, ice, some sort of tonic or club soda I forget). While I contemplated mixing the Bacardi, I soon recalled how the rum evokes memories of rubbing alcohol, and quickly found the real answer to my dilemma sitting next to the drink:
A bottle of hazelnut syrup.
This is where it gets really wild, I mixed a dollop of the syrup with a glass of club soda. How liberating! It was delicious, very simple to do, and I instantly realized how easy it is to be free of the heavy stuff like caffeine, high fructose corn syrup, or any corn products at all.
Being spirited with this new concoction, I soon after ventured into limonade alternatives, but that recipe has yet to be refined as it involves getting honey to dissolve before drinking... I feel like starting my own soda line in the near future.

Making your own soda is delightful and easy! As to sweetening with honey, prepare a honey simple syrup & keep it on hand for impulsive soda-mixing needs.
