Get either QD electronic cleaner or denatured alcohol in a spray bottle. Drench it, pat it out and let it evaporate, should be good to go in about an hour

Pull it apart, wash the plastic in the sink with soap and water, the electronics with alcohol(not the fun kind) if they got wet. If there is any corrosion on the board and its a cheap keyboard, buy a new one, its not worth the effort. As the help desk guy in my company, I do this a lot, the worst is juice

If it got in the springs or key lift, which it probably did, you'll never be able to clean it out.

Spoil yourself with a new keyboard for $20 at CompUSA - Viewsonic makes a decent cheap one.

I got a new dell in box for $10

Or a wireless keyboard/mouse for $30

Coke in Keyboard

Turn keyboard upside down and put it in the Top Shelf of the dishwasher. Run it through one cycle, and stand it up in the corner and let it dry for a few hours.(overnite is best) I do it to mine!!
