You can prepare a simple sugar syrup by adding 2 cups of water plus 2 cups of sugar. Cook till sugar dissolves then remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Place glasses on the table. Pour equal amounts of the sugar syrup,then the lemon juice. Next is the sprite,then ice. Lastly pour the color on the ice and use a straw to gently stir.this step is important so make sure u add enuf ice before pouring the color. If not the color will go down and it won't be layered. Enjoy!
