• This syrup packs more oomph when made from fresh berries, but frozen blackberries make a wonderful syrup too.
• To make a homemade soft drink, fill a 12- or 16-ounce (350- to 475-ml) glass one-third of the way with ice cubes or crushed ice. Pour 2 tablespoons to ¼ of a cup (30 to 59 ml) of syrup over the ice and top off with well-chilled seltzer water, soda water or club soda.
