Oak Cliff Beverage Works Real Sugar Cola Syrup - Small-Batch Craft Soda for Home Carbonation - 12 Pack Bottles - Perfect for DIY Sodas, Cocktails & Dessert Toppings

Slightly more than half the amount of sugar compared to the popular brands. Tastes cleaner compared to them, but it won't satisfy sugar addicts who are used to bingeing on store sodas for their sugar content. Adding a squirt of lemon and lime juices changes the flavor from what the label looks like to the flavor of their best competitor. It does contain some benzoate preservative, the taste of which is far less strong than soda from a commercial bottling plant. Soda Stream jars have a fill line on them. If you fill to the line with water, add fizz, and then fill the soda stream jar up from the Cane Cola soda bottle (slowly to avoid fizz-over), it's the right amount without measuring the syrup, which makes me wonder if soda stream machines and bottles are really made for this brand, rather than their own flavors. I figure costs to total somewhere around 50 cents a liter including the soda stream carbonation cost. It's cheaper and healthier, after the initial soda stream machine purchase, than buying soda at the store, and it tastes cleaner and better. It has caffeine about the same as its competition, judging by the kick it gives.
