Cocktail flavor experiments:

Mr. & Mrs. T's Mai Tai Mixer: Works pretty well with NO foam side effects when added. A bit weak, so you have to max top off one of the HALF liter sodastream bottles which have more percent empty space at the top. Nice adult citrus flavor that isn't oversweetened... I have no idea or interest if it resembles a real Mai Tai. In the pre-holiday sale I also got their Pina Colada mix which I fear will create a foam bomb due to the cocomilk.

Sodastream Cosmopolitan syrup: Actually it might be another similar cocktail mixer, NOT intended for alcohol like their newly announced product. I had a BBB coupon and they had stopped carrying Sodastream natural flavor cola (are they insane, cola is the most popular flavor but the non natural flavors taste putrid!). So I tried something like Cosmopolitan mix from a red bottle and it was very good, aside from the fact it was a mix of natural and not... with the usual off flavors. I hesitate to use the term natural which has no legal or logical meaning, but in the case of Sodastream they use ghastly tasting artificial sweeteners in their non-natural.
EDIT-> best when combined with min maid fruit/berry punch concentrate.
 
Mr & Mrs T Pina Colada Mix: Decadently creamy and bubbly, yet it doesn't turn to a foam bomb! Strongish flavor, so might work even in the liter sodastream bottle. These don't foam due to scarcity of any natural particulate, so maybe best to round out the flavor with some real cherry juice or whatever is on hand.

Edit Addendum: Mix P-C with sodastream Cola syrup! It's just perfect because the edgy acid/tannin of cola plays off the thick coco syrup. Just like a coke is esp satisfying cutting thru aftermath of an oily meal.
