MOD EDIT: Post moved to new thread.
Here's a couple ideas I'm kicking around from reading this and other posts on idea of making alcoholic sodas.
It seems a good method might be to mix sugar, water, yeast in a fermenting bucket with an airlock. If I'm understanding the process correctly. Yeast eats the sugar and produces alcohol and co2. Once the sugar water reaches the desired alcohol content, siphon it into another container to separate it from the sediment. Then add concentrate or other syrups to the now alcoholic water. Question then would be if there is enough active yeast left in the water to carbonate the bottle or if it would need to be force carbonated? Thought it was an interesting idea to throw out there and see what everyone thought of it.
