If you like your fizzy drinks with a sharp, tangy twist, our Sour Flavour Syrup Range is made for you.
Florida Syrups has created a collection of bold sour flavours for home fizzy drinks, cocktails, mocktails and slush drinks. You can use them with SodaStream and similar home carbonation systems, or get creative with your own flavour combinations.
We develop, manufacture, blend, fill and bottle our syrups in-house in North East England. Because we handle the whole process ourselves, we can take flavour ideas from customer suggestions through sampling, taste testing and final production.
What Flavours Are in the Florida Syrups Sour Range?
The Florida Syrups Sour Range includes:
- Sour Lemon
- Sour Cherry
- Sour Watermelon
- Sour Apple
- Sour Raspberry
Each flavour uses high-quality flavour extracts and delivers a bold sour profile.
Because the syrups are highly concentrated, a small amount goes a long way. You can also adjust the flavour strength slightly to suit your own taste.
Are Florida Sour Syrups Compatible with SodaStream?
Yes. Florida Sour Syrups are designed to flavour water that you have already carbonated using a SodaStream or similar home carbonation system.
Always carbonate the water first. Then add the syrup afterwards and mix gently.
For an 840ml bottle of pre-carbonated sparkling water, we recommend using 50ml of Florida Soda Syrup.
One of the most common mistakes we see is using too much or too little syrup. Therefore, it is worth measuring the syrup rather than guessing.
How Much Drink Does One Bottle Make?
Florida Sour Syrups are concentrated, so each bottle makes several litres of finished drink.
A 330ml bottle makes approximately 6.3 litres.
A 500ml bottle makes approximately 9.5 litres.
A 2 x 500ml twin pack makes approximately 19 litres.
This gives you plenty of finished drink from a relatively small bottle of concentrate.
How Can You Use Sour Syrups?
The sour range works well in several different ways.
Fizzy Drinks
The simplest option is to mix your chosen sour flavour with carbonated water.
For example, Sour Apple gives a crisp, tangy drink, while Sour Cherry offers a fruitier sour profile.
Cocktails
Sour Cherry and Sour Lemon both work well as cocktail mixers.
You can use them in sour spritzers, margarita-style drinks or other cocktails where a sharp fruit flavour works well.
Mocktails
The sour range also works well in alcohol-free drinks.
For example, Sour Raspberry works well with soda water and mint, while Sour Watermelon can add a bright fruit flavour to mocktails.
Slush Drinks
You can also use the sour syrups for tangy slush-style drinks.
Simply choose the flavour you want and follow the appropriate slush mixing instructions for the product and machine you are using.
Try Mixing Sour Flavours Together
Once you know the individual flavours, you can start experimenting with combinations.
For example:
- Sour Apple + Sour Lemon creates a sharp green-citrus combination.
- Sour Raspberry + soda water + mint makes a refreshing berry-style fizz.
- Sour Watermelon + lemonade adds a fruity sour twist.
- Sour Watermelon + an energy drink creates a stronger fruit flavour with an extra tangy edge.
Start with small amounts when combining flavours. That way, you can adjust the balance gradually until you find the mix you like.
How We Develop Our Sour Flavours
Many of our flavour ideas begin with customer suggestions.
When we develop a new flavour, we make several samples and taste-test them. We then adjust the formulation until we reach the version we believe works best.
Because we do everything in-house, we can take a flavour from the first idea through blending, filling and bottling ourselves.
We also taste-test each batch and carry out quality checks before we send products to customers.
