Can I use Soda Syrup without a soda fountain?

Question

My church is having a carnival and to cut down on the price we would like to use soda and juice syrup. I want to know whter or not we can mix the syrup with water in a 5 gallon container and just serve it. I have a feeling the juice would be fine but i was wondering if the soda would be flat. I want real answers please not just opinions because the syrup is expensive even to just do a test round.

Answer 1

Don't use water, use carbonated water (club soda) and mix it with the syrup when you serve it, not before hand.

Answer 2

Maybe use plain "Soda water", it would be somewhat fizzy then........

Answer 3

You can buy soda water at the store. Add that to the syrup and it will be normal. I do the same thing when I sell energy drinks at events. I use the syrup and add carbonated water to it that I buy in 2 liter bottles.

Answer 4

use club soda. it's inexpensive and carbonated. i do it all the time at home because it's hard to find cranberry and pomegranate sodas.

i wouldn't pre-mix it though. if you have a lot of flavors to choose from, let each person choose for themselves. just put ice in a cup, pour in the desired syrup, and top with club soda. stir with straw and enjoy!
