I'm looking for something to carbonate an mixed up cocktail, will the Soda Sparkle work for this? TIA

I haven't tried to carbonate an already mixed up cocktail but have made "mixers" like coke, diet coke, tonic, etc. I buy the soda stream bottles of syrup and they now make a pump for them which is awesome.

That depends on the amount of CO2 you are using per soda. Honestly, I have never counted. The amount of CO2 is controlled by you. Therefore some people will get less sodas if they use more CO2 than others. Also, you only want to sparkle very cold water, otherwise you are wasting CO2. The CO2 can also be refilled at many hobby-shops, instead of purchasing refills. I pay just under 5$ for a refill. I have found that single canister will last me a month, give or take. And I make a great deal of carbonated beverages.

Technically, any liquid you place in the bottle can be carbonated. I'd imagine anything other than water would make things pretty sticky. You'd probably want to clean off any parts that touch the liquid.

Hello Shimon. No. Unfortunately, carbonation was the reason I bought it so I could turn 2-Buck Chuck [3-Buck Chuck in most states] and other dry white wines into "champagne". I could do that with the iCi Twist & Sparkle as long as I used two cartridges instead of one. However, the iCi T&A is no more -- it got recalled because apparently it occasionally blew up [probably naughty customers like me who used two cartridges]. However, with the iSi 2248, and irrespective of whether I use one or two cartridges, no appreciable carbonation. The first gentle squeeze of the trigger gets all fizz -- looks like the whipped cream cans -- and then the liquid is flat. I tried every trick I saw in the Amazon comments, e.g., freeze all the components except the wine, chill the wine, shake the container like crazy after supposedly charging the fluid, letting it sit for between a half hour and two hours in the refrigerator, yada, but alas I met failure at every turn. Buy something else, and if you find something worthwhile, please let me know. Be well. Gary

I bought other chargers on Amazon, they didn't fit as well, so it wouldn't give the charge of soda. So, I stuck a small piece of paper towel on top of the charger to tighten up the fit, worked fine. I love the charger, it was for our up north cottage, so I didn't have to take bottle seltzer up and the other soda streams didn't fit under our counter (and we had limited space). Good luck

Yes. I prefer to put on my powder first and use this as a finishing touch. It gives more of a glow or shimmer that way which is what I'm looking for.

I've only used it for shakes and smoothies and its fabulous. I'm sure it would work for cocktails but I haven't tried it. Good luck!

As far as I know it should. Most 8g single use CO2 chargers are the same size. However, the Soda Sparkle can be used in a standard bar siphon, but the Leland chargers need something to put behind them to keep them from moving around in the Soda Sparkle. The problem is that the Leland have a shorter neck. The 5.75 x 2.125 x 2.625 doesn't take into consideration the length of the neck.I would advise that you buy a box of 10 and try them to see if they fit, or contact Cuisinart to get a recommendation.After reading some of the other reviews, I'd suggest getting the Soda Sparkle brand.

Yes, you can add the Soda Stream flavors to the carbonated water. You can also carbonate wines and juices, which makes the SodaPlus superior to the other carbonation machines on the market.

I would definitely mix it with sugar or salt first because it is the consistency of glitter and once your lips touch it ... It's not going to just dissolve...

I use both as well, but only on whites with tuff stains. Its fine, but unless there are stains and such I use the soda alone on colors and the oxy alone on whites.

This product will mix well in a shaker. I mixed in 1litre water bottles with mio type flavorings. Product mixed well by shaking. Very cost effective. If it clumped it shook out easily.

I mix soda water and about 3/4 to one oz. of syrup, mix lightly and then add ice. add a squirt of cherry, or lime and cherry- good too. Do not need a soda stream at all.

I'll chime in by saying that whether you set it to low fizz or high fizz, the entire cartridge is used. Based on your question, I think you already know that. As for watering down a fully fizzed bottle, it may work if you don't want too much fizz in your drink. I find that half a glass of juice mixed with half a glass of fizzed water from the fizzini gives the juice a nice sparkle, but it would make for a flat soda. Hope this helps!

I haven't been able to find any. I got burned by ordering non-soda sparkle ones and they don't work with the sodasparkle machine. I should have gotten a sodastream. They have CO2 refills for that everywhere.

This comes with the 1.3 liter bottle which makes a lightly carbonated water from each cartridge. I plan to order the 1L bottle soon to have a stronger carbonation. think the smaller bottle is only available from the Soda Sparkle website, not Amazon.

We carbonate then usually drink the bottle within 24 hours but it last that long at least. The key is following the instructions. Also the kids love doing the Sparkle.
