to hold onto the fizz in your beverage!
Make your morning fizz – Add some carbonated water to freshly squeezed orange or grapefruit juice. Serve in a champagne glass with a citrus wedge and make the kids feel extra special. To each their own – You decide how much fizz you want in your drink. Some prefer water with their bubbles, while others prefer bubbles to dominate the water; you be the judge. The more times you press, the more bubbles are being forced into your water. The Chill Factor– To get the best bubbles, be sure to use the coldest water possible. Store the carbonating bottles filled with fresh, filtered water in the refrigerator so they are ready to go when you are! At a moment’s notice – Simple syrup can keep in the refrigerator for up to one month. Make a big batch so you can whip up drinks at any time.

Herbal-Infusions – Herbs lend well to carbonated drinks. We have recipes that use mint and basil, but be creative and try your favorites, especially when your herb garden is in full force! A Sweet Finish – Root beer and cola floats are delicious at any age. Use our Winter Spice syrup over vanilla ice cream for another frozen treat. Strawberries and cream more your thing? Pair strawberry syrup with soda water and some vanilla ice cream. It is all about preference, so keep trying until you find your favourite. For the after 5 o’clock crowd – Let the Cuisinart Sparkling Beverage Maker be a fixture on your bar at home. From fizzy mojitos with a mint syrup to big bowls of spritzy, wine punches, carbonated cocktails make a statement.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Your Sparkling Beverage Maker isn’t carbonating water
Be sure it’s in a fully upright position on a level surface. Your cartridge may be empty. Full and empty weights are listed on the cartridge. Be sure your beverage bottle is lled to the water line.
CO²is not coming out when I press the lever.
The cylinder could be out of gas. If so you can exchange your empty cartridge for a relled cartridge at participating retailers. Never throw away an empty cartridge. The needle could be clogged.
I need to clean the carbonating needle
Using a cup of plain warm water immerse the needle into the water for a few minutes. Gently press the lever to allow a small amount of gas to enter the cup of warm water. This should loosen any residual syrup residue.
The unit is continuing to make a hiss- ing noise as if CO²is leaking from the machine.
Call customer service at 1-800-472-7606.
The beverage bottle won’t unscrew from the machine.
Tilt the bottle away from the a machine to engage the pressure relief valves.
My water is too lightly carbonated
Ideally (3) one-second buzzes should be sufcient carbonation. When the unit buzzes while carbonating, it is signifying that you have reached the optimal absorption of CO
2
. It is recommended to make sure your
water is extra carbonated when adding avour to carbonated water.
Water from the beverage bottle and made a mess all over my countertop.
Make sure you only ll the water bottle to the water ll line. Overlling the bottle can result in water getting drawn back into the unit.
My bottle is overflowing.
Make sure you are only carbonating water. Never add the avor syrup before carbonating. Be sure to tilt the bottle of carbonated water at a 45 degree angle while slowing adding in the avoured syrups. All of these things could cause your bottle to overow.
I hear gas escaping, but it’s not making the “buzz” noise.
The water bottle might not be screwed in tight enough. Make sure to turn until rmly seated into the carbonating unit.
My beverage bottle has passed its expiration date.
The bottle is designed to withstand many cycles of carbonating but since nothing lasts forever its best to ensure that the bottle is not used indenitely. As the expiration date approaches new bottles should be purchased to replace the current beverage bottles
I need to refill my CO²cartridge.
Never attempt to rell a cartridge yourself. It must be relled by an authorized Cuisinart retailer. Please bring your empty cartridge to a participating retailer to exchange it for a full one.

SUGAR SYRUPS
Simple Syrup (Version 1 – heavy)
Simple syrups are the base of most of the
flavoured syrups. We have created two
versions; this one is a true simple syrup,
meaning that it is equal parts sugar to water,
while the second is a bit less concentrated.
They take little time to prepare,
and are good to have on hand to sweeten
cold beverages such as iced coffee and tea.
This version is perfect for mixing into cocktails,
for it cuts the bite of the alcohol a bit better
than the lighter version.
Makes about 3½ cups (875 ml) 2 cups (500 ml) granulated sugar 2 cups (500 ml) water
1. Put both the sugar and water into a small
saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Once it boils, reduce heat to medium to allow mixture to simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved. Stir occasionally.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and
allow to cool completely before using. Syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Simple Syrup (Version 2 – light)
This is a lighter version of our simple syrup.

amount of sweetness for regular sodas.

1. Put both the sugar and water into a small
saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Once it boils, reduce heat to medium to allow mixture to simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved. Stir occasionally.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and
allow to cool completely before using. Syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.

cocktails, such as the Dark ’n Stormy®on page 6.

Lemongrass Syrup
Lemon grass can be found in many larger
supermarkets, or specialty stores. It is in the
produce section and is a long, brittle stalk (look for
green stalks, not ones that are brown and peeling
at the ends, for that means that they are past their
prime). If you cannot locate it in the produce
section, try looking in the frozen food aisles (and if
you are lucky, it’s already chopped!). Peel away
the outer leaf and use the inner, fresher stalk.
Makes about 1 cup (250 ml) 1 cup (250 ml) Simple Syrup (Version 2) 3 tablespoons (45 ml) chopped lemon-
grass (from about 1 stalk)

saucepan. Once it boils, remove pan from heat and add chopped lemon grass. Cover and steep for 30 minutes.

spices. Allow to cool completely before using. Syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.

refreshing when stirred into a glass of soda water.

cucumber and herbs. Allow to cool completely before using. Syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.
Vanilla Syrup

of rum or vodka and then pour over ice.

flowers (from about 3 to 4 sprigs)

lavender. Allow to cool completely before using. Syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.
