Got a home bar or know somebody that does? This brushed aluminum Soda Siphon may be just the thing to take mixed drinks to the next level.
The brushed aluminum dispenser holds 1 liter of cold water. Blast it with an 8 gram C02 cart, shake well and mix with your favorite scotch.
Making soda water at home can be pricey… about $50 for the Austrian made Siphon and as much as $1 for the one cartridge per liter. But buying the C02 carts in bulk (100 for $39) starts to bring the price down in the long run.

Pardon us please, while we pay for beer...
I can attest that soda water bottles are a nifty addition to a home bar. Making your own fizzy water can be costly, but I do exactly what you mention above and I buy the canisters in bulk. I like the “clean” taste when I use it as a mixer.
