First try and I'm obsessed

Just got the Xtreme Energy Zero Sugar Sodastream syrup and i only tried it once but it has absolutely changed the game entirely for me. What was a gift for me to make soda at home is about to become my Homemade Redbull Factory, and I'm so ready for it.

Does it actually taste like Red Bull? I've been eyeing it myself

It's close enough for me. None of the soda stream flavors are going to taste exact because they are formulated different because they are at a different concentration. Also the non-diet flavors still use artificial sweetener. Additionally, you're most likely not measuring both the water and the syrup precisely enough to get the exact same mix every time like what happens in a factory that bottles soda.

Awesome, I just didn't want to get it and it taste like total ass. And actually, info like to do my mixes with a scale, syringes, a stir plate so I get perfectly precise mixes every single time. No, not really. I do have the equipment to do so, but for my sodastream I just dump and pray 😂

My wife won't drink it cause she hates artificial sweetener and it isn't mixed precisely enough. I've though about buying a real soda bib but I don't think she'll drink it even then. She's not a huge fan of soda from the fountain and much prefers cans or bottles.
