    You could likely make a “simple syrup”, keep in fridge and add things like pureed lime and such.

    (it actually never occurred to me that you could buy syrups - but I suppose that makes sense!)

      Ah I got a soda stream specifically so I could make soda at home for cheaper. My wife has a terrible addition to Dr. Pepper and I’m hoping to find a cheaper alternative.

      But making simple syrup is something we do for Amaretto Sours already, and I’m sure could make a decent seltzer have some better taste.

        For my part I started ordering baking extracts, which I was surprised number in the thousands now, and mix and match whatever flavor I want.

        Let us know how it goes! I actually don’t have a soda stream, but my folks do, and this is something I’d like to try. If you don’t waste ingredients, it’ll be way cheaper than Dr. Pepper. I admit I prefer his cousin, who happens to be a Sgt. (with a somewhat lonely heart…)
