Notes
Use fresh lemon juice for brighter flavor and better balance
Do not over freeze the mixture into a hard block, allow slight softness for easier mixing
Adjust sugar levels to taste if you prefer a lighter drink
Mix with soda only before serving to maintain carbonation and freshness
Store frozen base tightly sealed for up to 2 weeks
