Watermelon Soda image

Watermelon flavored sodas are popping up everywhere! My DSS loves them, so I went looking for something I could make at home for him. This is what I found at cookingclub.com. This can be made into an ADULT drink by adding 1 oz. of vodka to the drink....sounds yummy either way. Syrup can be made up to a week beforehand.
