SodaStream Syrup Alternatives FAQ’s

What Flavours can you use in SodaStream?

We offer Classic syrups, Diet syrups, Fruit Drops, Organic Soda Press, and Fruits syrups. To add sparkling drink syrups: Use the indicated lines on the cap of the flavor bottle to choose a normal or light sweetness level. Tilt the carbonating bottle at an angle and pour the flavor into your sparkling water.

Can you use other flavors in SodaStream?

So, any flavors have to be added after the carbonation. SodaStream makes a wide range of syrups that can be added to carbonated water; many of them mimic popular soda flavors. I prefer to make my syrups so that I can use healthy ingredients.

What should you know about adding flavors to your sparkling water?

  • It is preferable to add syrups to your sparkling water. This is to avoid excess foaming up.
  • If your flavors come in powder form, mix it with some room temperature water to make it into a syrup before adding it to your sparkling water.
  • Add your flavors in batches and then taste each time; this allows you to make your sparkling water taste the way you want.
  • Avoid adding flavoring to your SodaStream Bottle. This makes the bottle harder to clean. Instead, pour your sparkling water into an airtight container and then add your syrup.

How to make your own SodaStream syrup alternatives?
