System and method for dispensing a beverage

A system, comprising:

• a first fluid line configured to be fluidically coupled to a source of a first liquid including an unpressurized beverage concentrate;
• a second fluid line configured to be fluidically coupled to a source of a second liquid including carbonated water;
• a third fluid line configured to be fluidically coupled to a source of a third liquid;
• a mixer fluidically coupled to the first fluid line, the second fluid line, and the third fluid line and configured to receive the first liquid via the first fluid line, to receive the second liquid via the second fluid line, and to receive the third liquid via the third fluid line;
• a pump assembly configured to simultaneously draw a first volume of the first liquid from the source of beverage concentrate and a third volume of the third liquid from the source of the third liquid in a predetermined ratio of the first liquid to the third liquid, the pump assembly configured to simultaneously expel the first volume of the first liquid to the mixer via the first fluid line and the third volume of the third liquid to the mixer via the third fluid line;
• and
• a valve configured to control the flow of a second volume of the second liquid from the source of the second liquid to the mixer via the second fluid line such that the second volume of the second liquid is received by the mixer at the same time as the first volume of the first liquid and the third volume of the third liquid and a predetermined ratio of the first liquid, the second liquid, and the third liquid is received by the mixer,
• the mixer configured to combine the first volume of the first liquid, the second volume of the second liquid, and the third volume of the third liquid into a fourth liquid including the predetermined ratio of the first liquid, the second liquid, and the third liquid.

A system, comprising:

• a source of a first liquid including an unpressurized beverage concentrate;
• a source of a second liquid;
• and
• a dispensing device including a first fluid line, a second fluid line, a third fluid line, and a mixer, the first fluid line configured to fluidically couple the source of the first liquid to the mixer, the second fluid line configured to fluidically couple the source of the second liquid to the mixer, and the third fluid line configured to fluidically couple a source of a third liquid to the mixer,
• the dispensing device configured to simultaneously draw a first volume of the first liquid from the source of the first liquid, draw a second volume of the second liquid from the source of the second liquid, and receive a third volume of the third liquid including carbonated water from a pressurized source of the third liquid into the dispensing device in a predetermined ratio of the first liquid, the second liquid, and the third liquid,
• the mixer configured to combine the first volume of the first liquid, the second volume of the second liquid, and the third volume of the third liquid to produce a fourth liquid including a predetermined ratio of the first liquid, the second liquid, and the third liquid,
• the dispensing device configured to dispense the fourth liquid including the first volume of the first liquid, the second volume of the second liquid, and the third volume of the third liquid in the predetermined ratio.

A system, comprising:

• a first dispensing assembly including a source of a first liquid including an unpressurized beverage concentrate, a source of a second liquid, and a first dispensing device, the source of the first liquid and the source of the second liquid disposed in a first drawer, the first dispensing device configured to dispense a fourth liquid including a predetermined ratio of the first liquid, the second liquid, and a third liquid by simultaneously drawing a first volume of the first liquid from the source of the first liquid, drawing a second volume of the second liquid from the source of the second liquid, and receiving a third volume of the third liquid including carbonated water from a pressurized source of the third liquid into the dispensing device in the predetermined ratio and dispensing the fourth liquid including the first volume of the first liquid, the second volume of the second liquid, and the third volume of the third liquid in the predetermined ratio, the first dispensing assembly configured to be coupled to a first tap via a first exhaust line for dispensing of the fourth liquid, and
• a second dispensing assembly including a source of a fifth liquid, a source of a sixth liquid, and a second dispensing device, the source of the fifth liquid and the source of the sixth liquid disposed in a second drawer arranged vertically below the first drawer, the second dispensing device arranged vertically below the first dispensing device, the second dispensing device configured to be coupled to a second tap via a second exhaust line for dispensing of a seventh liquid including a predetermined ratio of the fifth liquid, the sixth liquid, and the third liquid.
