Transport yourself to a different world with this refreshing Russian Tarragon Soda, also known as Yoda Soda! This unique drink combines the distinct, herbal flavor of tarragon with a hint of sweetness and fizz.
Remove the stems and chop fresh tarragon leaves to enhance the drink's distinctive flavor.
Set aside a portion of the lemon and lime for serving. Remove citrus zest and slice the lemon and lime pulp into pieces.
Place lemon zest, lime zest, mint, tarragon, and sugar in a saucepan for the infusion.
Add water to the saucepan and gently boil the mixture over low heat. Wait for it cool under a lid once done.
Strain the decoction, discarding the leaves. Transfer lemon, lime slices, and mint to a serving jug, cup or bottles. Pour in the decoction and add soda water for effervescence. Optionally, include green food coloring. Ensure the availability of all ingredients to enjoy this refreshing drink at its best.
Prepare a skewer with lime slices and olives at the end to garnish the Yoda Soda. Wrap the glass with paper and tie a ribbon for a charming presentation.
