I make my own fizzy drink simply with pure fruit juice and bicarbonate of soda (sodium bicarb/baking soda not baking powder). Basically just a dash or two of baking soda in a large glass, top up with fruit juice and that's it. If it's too fizzy I either leave it a while or add water. If I don't drink it all or leave it and it goes flat, just a tiny bit of baking soda will make it fizzy again. That's is, no sugar or anything (though it's up to to the person drinking if they want it sweeter). There's no method either - can either put the baking soda and/or water at the bottom adding the juice to it or vice versa. Neither the baking soda/water or juice have to be fresh out of the fridge/carton, it can just be bicarb water or juice I've had sitting out for some time and then just add one to the other = fizzy drink that tastes as if it's just been opened.

I find the result of using grape juice is very much like cola imo.

As long as you are careful with the sodium intake.

Tesco diet cream soda and diet ginger beer are both aspartame free. They taste nice too in my opinion.

My opinion agrees with yours.
