I don't like vinegar much either, but vinegar in drinks does have a certain tradition e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posca https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posca

How do you get the girders to dissolve into the syrup?

Soadly is getting popular in Australia as an alternative to sugar / artificial sweeteners soadas. Most use vinegar: https://www.remedydrinks.com/collections/sodaly https://www.remedydrinks.com/collections/sodaly
