I've recently been making pink lemonade with winter's bountiful lemons and a bit of sour cherry syrup for the color. Sweet-tart and Festive! Then I go and look out at the snow and dream of summertime.
I also made a kick-ass "Pineapple Fauxmosa" for brunch the other day. Chopped up a fresh pineapple and let it macerate overnight with a hefty dose of vanilla sugar. In the morning, I liquefied it with my handy immersion blender, then mixed it with seltzer for a refreshing and fancy alternative to coffee.

I pretty much always have seltzer in the pantry to mix with flavoured syrup. Easier than handling lots of cans or bottles of sodas, and you can control the kind and amount of sweetener in the soda. Also, I've recently been looking into making a less-sweet tonic water for gin and tonic -- you buy quinine powder and mix it with seltzer, citric acid, a little simple syrup.
