Systems and methods for metering, mixing, and dispensing liquids, including alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages

A system, comprising:

• a plurality of liquid input sets, each liquid input set including a source of a first liquid, a source of a second liquid, and a container within which the source of the first liquid and the source of the second liquid are disposed, the first liquid including a high density fermented beverage, the second liquid including at least one of alcohol and a substance having bitterness characteristics;
• a plurality of pumping assemblies, each pumping assembly including a first pump configured to be fluidically coupled to a source of a first liquid of a liquid input set of the plurality of liquid input sets, a second pump configured to be fluidically coupled to a source of a second liquid of the liquid input set of the plurality of liquid input sets, and a flow connector configured to be fluidically coupled to the first pump and a source supply of pressurized carbonated water, each flow connector configured to be fluidically coupled to a fluid dispenser such that a combined liquid including the first liquid and the pressurized carbonated water can be dispensed from the fluid dispenser with the second liquid;
• and
• a controller operatively coupled to the plurality of pumping assemblies such that the controller can control a flow rate of each pump included in each pumping assembly of the plurality of pumping assemblies, the controller and the plurality of pumping assemblies disposed on a support rack.
