Anyone know if any of the supermarkets stock SodaStream Concentrate? Or anywhere else in Dublin you can get it?

Thanks for your help.

Also have a go fizzing up fruit juices, you can dilute them and add a little sugar syrup, like britvic 55.

I was wondering if you just add normal fruit concentrate (like Miwadi) how it would taste. I guess it would be ok???

It turns out OK, they already sell cans of fizzy ribena. I am not sure of the price of soda stream equipment & gas, it might be cheaper to buy own brand fizzy water and add concentrate too it.

The advantage I saw of the soda stream over doing this is you can fizz the fruit juice itself (i.e. with fizzy water you have to use a concentrate). And also you can revive the end of a 2L of coke, which is often gone flat and horrible.

We buy the really nice cordials for ours, the Bottle Green ones or the Bellvoir, you get them in most supermarkets I think, I know for sure that Avoca have them.... They are about 6euro per bottle but totally worth it, the flavours are incredible.

Mi Wadi/Ribena tastes good too though!!

Tesco have a "hi" range of cordials, with a 50% blackcurrant version.

If you get your hands on citric acid (in asian supermarkets) you can have a go making your own cordials. I used to get shloer as a kid at christmas as a kids version of wine. These are the ingredients
Carbonated Water,White Grape Juice (36%) ,Glucose-Fructose Syrup ,Malic Acid ,Natural Flavours ,Citric Acid ,Vitamin C (Fruit Juice from Concentrate)

grape juice is about 16% sugar so already very high. Coke etc is about 10-11% and lilt is only 5% sugar. So even diluted in half grape juice is pretty sweet.

Cardinal Richelieu

Aldi and Lidl high juice fruit concentrate is pretty good too.

It works out well if transporting all the bottles of water is a problem.

If you could get orange juice (and other) concentrates it would work out really well.
