Diet Coke Soda Syrup (5 gal.)

The 5 to 1 mix ratio refers to a common dilution ratio used with soda syrups like the Diet Coke Bag-In-Box Fountain Syrup. In this case, it means that for every 5 parts of water, you should add 1 part of syrup. This ratio is designed to work with fountain machines or carbonation systems like SodaStream.

For example, if you are using a SodaStream, you would:

1. Carbonate the Water: Use your SodaStream to carbonate plain water to your preferred level of fizz.
2. Mix the Syrup: Measure the syrup according to the 5 to 1 ratio. For example, if you’re using 30 ounces of carbonated water, you would mix it with 6 ounces of syrup.
3. Combine: Pour the syrup into the carbonated water and gently mix to avoid losing the carbonation.
