How to Mix Florida Syrups with SodaStream
Making your favourite fizzy drinks at home is easy with Florida Syrups, compatible with SodaStream and similar home carbonation machines. Simply carbonate 840ml of water, add 50ml of your chosen Florida Syrups concentrate, and mix gently. Our UK-made syrups are available in Sugar and Sugar Free options, with a wide range of classic, fruity and sour flavours to enjoy at home.
Follow these four simple steps to prepare your drink.
1. FIZZ – Carbonate Your Water
Fill your SodaStream bottle with fresh water to the manufacturer’s recommended fill line.
Carbonate the water using your SodaStream or home carbonation machine, then remove the bottle.
Always carbonate your water before adding Florida Syrups concentrate.
2. POUR – Add Your Florida Syrup
Measure 50ml of Florida Syrups concentrate and carefully pour it into 840ml of freshly carbonated sparkling water.
Add the syrup slowly to help prevent excessive foaming.
How to Measure 50ml
To measure 50ml of Florida Syrups concentrate, use a 50ml measuring scoop, a graduated measuring jug or standard kitchen measuring spoons. Our Multi & Twin Packs include a 50ml measuring scoop. If using measuring spoons, three standard UK tablespoons (15ml each) plus one teaspoon (5ml) equals 50ml. Measure accurately for consistent flavour.
3. MIX – Combine Gently
Gently mix the syrup with the sparkling water until the flavour is evenly distributed.
Avoid vigorous shaking, as this can cause excessive fizzing.
4. ENJOY – Pour and Serve
Your flavoured fizzy drink is ready to enjoy!
Pour into your favourite glass, serve chilled and enjoy your chosen Florida Syrups flavour.
How Much Florida Syrup Should I Use?
For the standard preparation method, use:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Florida Syrups concentrate | 50ml |
| Pre-carbonated sparkling water | 840ml |
For a smaller amount, the same proportions can be halved:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Florida Syrups concentrate | 25ml |

Measure the syrup rather than guessing to help achieve a consistent flavour.
