Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

To assemble

2 cups sparkling water, chilled
1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

1
Combine the cocoa powder, maple syrup, water, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the cocoa is fully dissolved and the mixture just comes to a gentle simmer, about 3–4 minutes, with no dry clumps remaining.
2
Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2–3 more minutes until the syrup thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
