Abstract
Beverage additives and additive delivery systems including an additive with relatively low pH, specific gravity and/or viscosity can aid in mixing with a base liquid or other flow performance while producing a suitably tart or otherwise flavored beverage are disclosed. Methods of mixing and forming a beverage including water, an additive, an acidulant and a flavor system are disclosed.
Claims32
A beverage additive, comprising:
- water at a proportion of about 40% to about 85% by weight of the additive;
- an acidulant at a total proportion of about 1% to about 20% by weight of the additive, the acidulant comprising phosphoric acid at a proportion of about 0.1% to about 2% by weight of the additive;
- and
- a flavor system at a proportion of about 10% to about 40% by weight of the additive.

A beverage additive for use in an additive delivery system, the beverage additive comprising:
- water at a proportion of about 40% to about 85% by weight of the additive;
- an acidulant at a proportion of about 1% to about 20% by weight of the additive;
- and
- a flavor system at a proportion of about 10% to about 40% by weight of the additive,
- the beverage additive having a viscosity and/or a specific gravity selected to facilitate mixing of the beverage additive with a base fluid within a mixing space of the additive delivery system, the mixing space fluidly coupling both an additive reservoir and a base fluid container to a delivery system outlet, the additive delivery system configured to dispense the beverage additive from the additive reservoir and dispense the base fluid from the base fluid container into the mixing nozzle in response to a user drawing fluid through the delivery system outlet.
