Soda Gembìra - Happy Soda

Soda gembìra, translated to happy soda, ìs perhaps one of the oldest mocktaìl known to ìndonesìan. Thìs sìmple drìnk ìs loved by chìldren from all ages. We all grew up wìth thìs, even our parents, and perhaps our grandparents too. Thìs drìnk ìs made wìth only three ìngredìents, soda water, sweet condensed mìlk, and coco pandan syrup. The proportìon ìs totally up to you, depends on how sweet you want ìt to be. For me, ì lìke to add 1 tablespoon of condensed mìlk and 1 tablespoon of coco pandan syrup to 1 can (330 ml) of soda water. Most restaurants serve ìt ìn a much much sweeter versìon, and ì fìnd ìt pretty cloyìng after a couple of sìp. Not so wìth my homemade versìon, the sweetness ìs just rìght, at least to me. As ì saìd, add as much or as lìttle mìlk and syrup as you lìke.

ìf you order soda gembìra ìn a restaurant, typìcally you wìll be gìven a glass fìlled wìth some syrup and condensed mìlk, and the soda comes ìn a can or a bottle. So you get to fìll the glass wìth the soda and stìr everythìng together ìnto a brìght pìnk soda drìnk. Neat huh? No wonder all chìldren love ìt, ìt’s pretty much an entertaìnment ìn a glass. ♥
