Flavored Seltzers?

[EFaden]

Hey,

Anyone ever used fruit essences or distillates to flavor seltzer? I am looking for a way to make the flavored seltzers you can buy in the store (the 0 calorie things that just have a hint of flavor). Anyone used them? Know where to get them? etc?

I buy sugar-free flavoring from Starbucks, World Trade, and a few other places. Check out this thread.

That could work, but I was looking for the flavorings like Vintage uses in their seltzers.

Do you mean like: The Spice House, Penzys, or even McCormicks? I've used flavor extracts (mostly the peppermint ones) to add to water before.

I suppose like those... just the essence of the fruit. I think that is what Vintage uses. Trying to figure out the correct ratio.
