Perfect Pepsi Substitute
I was a little weary of trying out this mix. I assumed it would be too syrupy and taste weird. I was pleasantly surprised. It allows you to adjust the amount of mix to add to your preference. While the sweetener used seemed to have a slight artifical taste, it was still enjoyable. Using it in the sodastream, I was able to adjust the carbonation level to my satisfactio...

Terrible After Taste
I did not like the after taste of this product. I think it is because it is a concentrated syrup. It reminds me of the aspartame after taste. Overall without the lingering taste, after trying it wasn’t quite like how starry tastes.

Pretty close to the original!
Since you can adjust the amount of product in your soda, it took me a couple tries to get the “right” Pepsi flavor. Overall I enjoyed it- it was crisp and refreshing and a more cost effective version versus buying Pepsi at the store.

A good summer drink but not a perfect dupe
The flavor of this drink was not totally accurate, but it was still good! It was easy to make my soda and did not take much time at all. It was also the right level of “bubbles”, which I appreciated. We’ll use the rest of it for sure!

Fun and flavorful
This is not the best tasting flavor. The flavor is nothing close to the real pepsi taste. It taste like it was made at home and has a really off after taste. Overall its okay but it could be better

A bit too syrupy with aftertaste
I have tried other flavors, but this Pepsi left a little to be desired. It works well on the highest carbonation setting to not taste quite so syrupy, but there is a bit of an aftertaste after each swig. Perhaps it may take some getting used to, but I prefer other flavors and wish there were a Coke option as I am a Coke fan. I will say this is a much cheaper alternat...

Tastes like the real deal!
I was skeptical that I could mix my own beverage and have it taste like the original. However, I was pleasantly surprised that on the highest carbonation setting on my eTerra, this tasted so close to the 2 liters I buy in store at a fraction of the cost. The blend of carbonation and syrup was almost spot on. Had I not made it myself I would not know the difference ha...

A decent replacement for the real thing.
I enjoy this but i can see how ppl who are picky about small taste change being resistant. Ive never needed an overly sugar filled drink and being able to use as much as needed for flavor helps.

Not a bad replacement for the real thing
I feel like this product is similar to the Starry option I also reviewed. The flavor isnt exactly the same as the real thing so people may react negatively to that. I personally think it is a good substitute and works well for me.

Kind of tastes like Pepsi
I’ve obviously had Pepsi many times in my lifetime. Bottled, canned, and as a fountain drink. Flavor-wise, to me, I’m thinking “it kind of tastes like Pepsi” and “something is a little off”. Either way, it tastes good and I will continue to drink it. I love that, with the sodastream, I was able to control the level of fizz. For me, I liked medium fizz. For my wife, she ...

Tastes like Starry
I’ve have had Starry a couple times. Bottled and as a fountain drink. Flavor-wise, it definitely tastes like Starry. I love that, with the sodastream, I was able to control the level of fizz. For me, I liked medium fizz. For my wife, she doesn’t do fizzy too much so she was fine with light.

Good
Pepsi is my favorite soda so when I got this, I was excited to try it and I would say it’s very good considering you’re making it on your own through a liquid concentrate

Not bad
I would’ve preferred Sierra mist because that’s the original flavor as we all know but I don’t really like lemon lime sodas but this one wasn’t too bad I guess

Bette than Expected
So I am usually a Pepsi person since the flavor is better than its competitors. I actually didn’t expect for this Pepsi drink to taste the same but it actually tasted very similar. It did remind me of drinking a Pepsi in a can/bottle. It has the right amount of flavor consistency. I only made it once and could like to continue to sip/drink to determine if I would purcha...

Lemon-e?
Well, I like lemon but this didn’t taste like the lemon I enjoy. The taste was kinda odd - almost felt like it needed more sugar but then again, this is more of a sparkling drink to me that a regular lemon drink. Not sure I like it so I’ll just give it an okay. More flavor is needed - again, it could be that it’s supposed to be this way.

At home Pepsi flavor for half the cost
Pepsi syrup for usage with Soda stream is a great way to have Pepsi anytime you want without having to go to the store for extra cans and bottles, which saves money in the long run. The syrup is a faithful recreation of Pepsi flavor, however more syrup is required than the recommended amount in order to achieve the right flavor. I also recommend pouring small amounts of...

Close to the real thing, at home!
Starry Lemon Lime syrup (for use with Soda Stream) is a great tasting syrup mix that when combined with Soda stream sparkling water makes a great recreation of the actual Starry Pop at home. It does fizz up quickly so it's better to add just a small amount at a time instead of the recommended amount. It also requires a bit more syrup than the directions call for in orde...
