Sodastream recipes?

[desura]

Just got my first sodastream. It was between the Play and the Source. Glad I picked the Play.

Anyone DIY the syrup? You could probably cook some sugar and flavorings on a stovetop.

Also, refilling the CO2? I've seen a few vids of dry ice refilling. But like, there's got to be a way you can just stop by like a gas station and get it done fast.

I believe people are selling adapters that you can attach different co2 bottles

I play around with mine from time to time. Here are a couple good books to get started with:

I've been working on perfecting root beer...I want to capture that foamy A&W flava from the 80's. Everything is too corn-syrupy now.

Vodka?

Shot of Lemon Juice + Shot of Lime Juice = Tangy, refreshing beverage that when you taste a 7/UP you will wonder how many cups of sugar you have swallowed.

This works well. Also a shot of lime juice with a splash of maraschino cherry juice makes a great cherry lime-aid. Generally we just add a bit of juice to our soda water. I've made a couple of syrups from the second book Kaido listed. They've turned out well.

I use a 10lb gas tank and a Carbonator top. Refilled the tank a couple of weeks ago. $20 and I'm good to go for another 500+ liters.
