How to use flavours in soda water/beverages

Updated: Dec 17



Create Your Custom Sparkling Drink

Transform plain soda water into a refreshing, flavourful beverage with food flavour concentrates! Whether you’re craving fruity, sweet, or tangy flavours, these concentrates allow you to craft personalized sparkling drinks with just a few drops. From simple single flavours to exciting combinations, it’s a quick and cost-effective way to elevate your soda water experience.

Why Use Food Flavor Concentrates in Soda Water?

  1. Customizable Flavours: You can create any flavour profile you desire, from fruity favorites like apple, strawberry, and watermelon, to unique blends like citrus or berry medleys.

  2. Stronger, Longer-Lasting Flavours: Potent flavour concentrates, such as Duomei Flavour or Sobucky Super Aroma, pack more punch with fewer drops, making them economical and long-lasting.

  3. Zero Sugar Options: Many flavour concentrates are sugar-free, allowing you to enjoy delicious soda water without added sugar or calories.

How to Flavor Soda Water with Concentrates

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 can (355 mL) of soda water (or sparkling water)

  • Food flavour concentrate of your choice

  • Sweetener (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Start Small: Add 5–8 drops of your chosen flavor concentrate to the soda water. If you’re using a potent brand like Duomei Flavour or Sobucky Super Aroma, start with fewer drops (around 3–5) and adjust to taste.

  2. Taste and Adjust: Stir gently and taste. Add more flavour or sweetener if needed.

  3. Mix It Up: Experiment by mixing two or more flavours for a unique drink. For example, try strawberry-watermelon or lemon-apple for refreshing combinations.

  4. For soda making in soda machines, add your flavouring after carbonation. Adding it beforehand increases the water's viscosity, leading to excessive foaming.

Tips for the Perfect Flavored Soda Water

  1. Use Potent Flavors to Save Money:Concentrates sold by TasteNest, like Duomei and Sobucky, are 4–5 times stronger than typical grocery store flavours. This means a little goes a long way, making them highly cost-effective.

  2. Combine Flavors Creatively:Pair different concentrates to create exciting new flavours. Try combinations like:

    • Apple + Lemon for a tart twist

    • Strawberry + Watermelon for a summer refresher

    • Vanilla + Orange for a creamsicle-inspired drink

  3. Sweeten to Taste:If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a touch of sweetener, like Capella Super Sweet, Extreme Sweetener , honey, or simple syrup, to balance the flavors.

  4. Adjust for Potency:Potent concentrates can be overpowering if used in excess. Always start with fewer drops and add more if needed. When combining flavors, reduce the amount of each to avoid an overly strong taste.

  5. Enjoy Sparkling Mocktails:Use flavored soda water as a base for mocktails. Add fresh fruit, herbs like mint or basil, or a splash of citrus juice for a sophisticated, alcohol-free drink.


Flavour Inspiration:

  • Citrus Zest: Lemon, lime, and orange for a bright, tangy soda.

  • Berry Bliss: Mix strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry for a fruity explosion.

  • Tropical Paradise: Combine pineapple, mango, and coconut for a tropical vibe.

  • Herbal Twist: Add mint or lavender flavor for a refreshing, calming drink.

Final Thoughts

Using food flavor concentrates to create custom soda water is a simple, affordable way to enjoy delicious, personalized drinks. High-quality, potent concentrates like Duomei Flavour and Sobucky Super Aroma from TasteNest make it easy to achieve bold flavors with just a few drops. Get creative, experiment with combinations, and enjoy the endless possibilities of homemade flavored sparkling drinks!

Cheers to your flavourful creations!
