Can this soda be made ahead?
Wondering if you can make a big batch of this drink ahead of time?
The only problem is that the sparkling water will lose it’s carbonation over time. If you make a pitcher of soda and store it in your fridge, you’ll notice it going flat within a few hours.
I recommend making this drink right when you want to drink it. Thankfully, the steps are so easy, it should only take a few minutes!

Just tried this and it’s soooooo good! Didn’t have almond extract, but even with just vanilla, it’s fabulous. I want to get ACV in on a daily basis, and this is going to be my new hack!
This is such a great idea!! I love adding ACV to my water but I’ve never thought about making it into a tasty soda!
Thanks, Liz! I really liked it, but realize it isn’t everyone’s cup of … soda 🙂
