s="h3color tiny">This review is from: Energy Drink SodaMix (16.9 fl oz) (Misc.)

I specifically bought my Soda Stream in the hopes that I could make my own tonic water. I don't drink much soda pop, but do enjoy a gin and tonic. Tonic at the store is surprisingly expensive, and I always realize I'm out at the least convenient times (often while pouring the gin). I have long wished I could make my own tonic, but quinine isn't easy to get a hold of...When I saw the Soda Stream product initially, I thought, "that would be nice for making tonic water," but the thought was followed by the concern that if they had tonic, it would be inauthentic (quinine might not be tasty, but it's past of the tonic. You can't make a proper gin & tonic with sparkling water!)So, once I was able to confirm 1) that tonic was an option from Soda Stream, and 2) it contained quinine, I was pretty excited and bought the Soda Stream at my local store. I immediately ordered the tonic mixer from Amazon (since the samples included with the machine didn't include tonic)...Read more

This is an excellent, cost-effective alternative to Red Bull. The flavor is spot on--even though a purist may be able to notice the difference, I was very pleased with how close this comes to the real deal!For the price, two cans of the real stuff almost pays for 12 liters of this. Also, with this syrup, you have the option to how strong or weak you'd like to make each serving. I find that I can add less than the recommended amount and make this mix go even further.I think you would be hard-pressed to find a cheaper alternative that tastes so close to the original.

You have to sample them all to find the ones you like. You'll miss out if you judge them all after tasting one or two. My favorites are Diet Orange, Diet Raspberry/Cranberry, and Diet Energy. Diet Dr. Pete and Diet Root Beer aren't bad either. They mix well with alcoholic beverages as well.HOWEVERI encourage everyone to visit the SodaStream webstore BEFORE purchasing any of products here. There are many flavors at the SodaStream webstore not offered here like DIET Energy and DIET Orange. Also, as of 2/15/2012, they charge 40-50% less at the SodaStream webstore but you may have to pay for shipping. However, if you buy 10 bottles at Sodastream, you'll get 1 bottle free. I'm not slamming the Amazon merchants but I think consumers should be aware of the significant price mark-up.(With this exception, I've found Amazon prices to be competitive with other stores so I continue to be an Amazon Prime Member.)If you only want one bottle, it...Read more
