A method of operating a beverage mixture dispensing system comprising a first reservoir containing a first solvent, a set of at least two ingredient reservoirs containing concentrated ingredients, a set of valves, a mixing area fluidly connected to the first reservoir, the set of at least two ingredient reservoirs, and an outlet valve, a mixing chamber fluidly connected to the mixing area via a fluid inlet and the outlet valve, and having (i) a sealable outlet and (ii) a basin, a first solvent line, a first pump, a second reservoir containing a sweetening liquid, a dedicated sweetener line, a second pump, a set of orifices having an orifice for each of the ingredient reservoirs in the set of at least two ingredient reservoirs, wherein each orifice in the set of orifices has a diameter of less than 5 millimeters, and a controller storing instructions, wherein each method step is conducted by the controller executing the stored instructions, the method comprising:
- flowing, using the first pump and the first solvent line, the first solvent from the first reservoir to the mixing area;
- dispensing, using the set of valves and the set of orifices, the concentrated ingredients into the mixing area to combine the first solvent from the first reservoir with the concentrated ingredients to form an intermediate mixture;
- flowing, using the outlet valve and the fluid inlet, the intermediate mixture to the mixing chamber and into the basin;
- flowing, using the second pump and the dedicated sweetener line, the sweetening liquid from the second reservoir to the mixing chamber, without flowing the sweetening liquid through the mixing area, to combine the sweetening liquid from the second reservoir with the intermediate mixture to form a beverage;
- and
- dispensing, using the sealable outlet, the beverage from the mixing chamber.
