With FIZZiO Soda Fizzer, you can make you own sodas, with all natural ingredients and flavors. Here's the general method for how to do it:
1) Add all the ingredients to a pitcher with some water, and mix well. The amount of water will depend on the recipe.
2) If there are solid ingredients in the mixture, like chopped ginger, you may wish to use a fine mesh filter or cheesecloth to filter the beverage before proceeding.
3) Add ice to the pitcher and stir. This lowers the temperature, which is critical. The solubility of CO2 in the beverage is much greater with colder temperatures.
4) Funnel the beverage mixture into a 2 liter bottle. Fill bottle no more than half full.
5) Cap with FIZZiO cap and pressurize. Shake for 4-5 seconds.
6) Let rest for 20 seconds after shaking. Pour and enjoy!

Donna’s All-Natural Ginger Ale
Here's a recipe from our very own operations manager, Donna. It’s got more gingery snap than Canada Dry—and without all the added corn syrup.
75 g | Finely chopped peeled ginger root |
1/4 cup |
Honey |
2 | Fresh squeezed limes |
1 liter | Filtered water |
In a bowl, add ginger, honey, lime juice and a couple ounces of water and stir well. Allow to sit for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add 1 L of water and stir well. Add more honey/lime to taste if desired. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into another vessel. Now funnel the mixture into a 2 liter bottle. The bottle should now be approximately half full. Cap with FIZZiO, and pressurize with CO2. Shake vigorously for 4-5 seconds, and let sit for 20 seconds. Pour and enjoy!
