Frequently Asked Questions - Syrup and Finished Soda

Typically, your syrup will arrive with 3-4 months prior to the “best before” date printed on the back of the label. Syrup is at peak drink ability before this date. However, when tightly closed and stored in a cool, dry place, syrup may be consumed for several months beyond the date on the label.

One of the best features of making soda at home is that you can control the level of flavor in your soft drinks. In general, use a capful of syrup for each litre of sparkling water. If you like it sweeter, add more! If you like it less sweet, use less.

The hermetic seal on the cap keeps your soda from going flat as quickly as ordinary store-bought beverages. If you make sure to close the cap tightly, and keep the bottle in the refrigerator, your SodaStream soda should remain fizzy and fresh for over a week.

Unopened bottles of syrup do not require refrigeration, but we do recommend that you store unopened bottles in a cool dry place. For the coldest soda, we recommend storing opened bottles of syrup in the refrigerator.

SodaStream regular syrup flavors contain sugar (sucrose), not high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). While many of our labels do say “sugar and/or high fructose corn syrup”, we have chosen to formulate without high fructose corn syrup and have not yet updated our labels to reflect this fact. The exception to this is Energy Drink, which indeed does contain fructose and dextrose, in addition to sucrose. In addition to sugar (sucrose), regular syrup flavors contain sucralose (Splenda® brand) and some also contain acesulfame potassium. If you have dietary concerns, please read the label of every SodaStream product before purchasing, available by clicking the syrup images on the Flavors Galore page of this website. When in doubt, consult with your physician.

Our diet flavors are sweetened with a blend of acesulfame K and sucralose, also known as Splenda®. Our flavors contain no aspartame.

One of the best benefits of making soda at home with a SodaStream drinks maker is that you control the "fizziness" of your drinks. When you're making soda: If you like very lightly carbonated soda, press the carbonating button until you hear just a single loud buzz. If you like extra-fizzy soda, keep going until you hear 5 buzzes. The amount of fizz your soda can hold is limited only by the laws of chemistry - after about 10 buzzes, you won't be able to inject any more fizz into the water.

Yes! Mywater flavorings are all-natural, unsweetened flavor essences for making flavored soda. Or, for sweetened flavors, try using a quarter-capful of any of our syrup flavors in each liter of soda for a very lightly flavored drink. (Fruit flavors work best.) Or try using fresh lemons, limes, oranges or berries to flavor your drink. Sophisticated, healthful and quite tasty!

While SodaStream's fruit flavors were undoubtedly some of the best-tasting syrup flavors, unfortunately they were not the best-selling syrup flavors. Apple-Peach, Orange-Mango and Pink Grapefruit were all discontinued in 2007 (Diet Pink Grapefruit continues to be available.) SodaStream is committed to developing new flavors and new products and will work to introduce new, exciting and delicious flavors in the future.
