I live in the US, and can only seem to find a variety of soda syrups that ship to Canada here.

This was my best lead but am looking for sometime similar.
Try Jo Snow, it’s a local brand in Chicago.
It seems like this one is out of business? I can’t find their page if so. Could you link it?
Try Northwoods Soda, they make some good syrups and even do custom ones on request
You could likely make a “simple syrup”, keep in fridge and add things like pureed lime and such.
(it actually never occurred to me that you could buy syrups - but I suppose that makes sense!)
Ah I got a soda stream specifically so I could make soda at home for cheaper. My wife has a terrible addition to Dr. Pepper and I’m hoping to find a cheaper alternative.
But making simple syrup is something we do for Amaretto Sours already, and I’m sure could make a decent seltzer have some better taste.
Let us know how it goes! I actually don’t have a soda stream, but my folks do, and this is something I’d like to try. If you don’t waste ingredients, it’ll be way cheaper than Dr. Pepper. I admit I prefer his cousin, who happens to be a Sgt. (with a somewhat lonely heart…)
I’ve had good luck just finding food flavoring concentrates and adding a few drops to create my own LaCroix-esque drinks. Not the same as homemade CocaCola, but calorie free!
Wow this is pretty much exactly what I wanted!
If you ever add enough to make the water taste like real soda how much flavoring do you add? Probably going to purchase from here but want to know where to start with my home mixtures.
I wouldn’t add too much of flavors like this or it ends up tasting weird. You’ll learn to dial it in with experimentation. Each one is slightly different, but as a general rule five drops and swirling to mix is my first attempt.
If you want something to taste like a sugary drink, you’ll want a syrup designed for that. And there I’m afraid I can’t help you, because it isn’t my use case for the SodaStream.
By the way, make SURE to not add flavoring until after you’ve added the carbon dioxide. Otherwise you’ll end up with a mess. Trust me. 😅
