For a richer flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of white sugar. Adjust the amount of root beer extract to your preference. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more if desired. Ensure the carbonated water is well-chilled before mixing to maximize fizz. Experiment with different extracts! Vanilla extract complements the root beer nicely
