Old-Fashioned Cherry Phosphate Recipe
Step back in time with this old-fashioned cherry phosphate soda. Made with cherry syrup, acid phosphate, and sparkling water, it's a fizzy, sweet-tart treat straight from the golden age of soda fountains.
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz. Cherry Syrup
- 1 tsp Acid Phosphate
- 10 oz. Soda Water or Sparkling Water
- Maraschino Cherry for garnish optional
Instructions
- Add the cherry syrup and acid phosphate to a chilled glass.
- Pour in half of the soda water and stir gently to combine. Add the remaining soda water.
- Garnish with a cherry, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- I recommend using homemade cherry syrup for the best flavor. This easy cherry syrup recipe is ready in 15 minutes.
- Traditionally, phosphates were served without ice to keep the carbonation at its peak. If you like your drinks ice cold, go ahead and toss some in.
- If you prefer your soda sweeter use 2 oz. of cherry syrup, or for a less sweet option use 1 oz.
