An apparatus for making carbonated beverages is disclosed which is comprised of a refillable bottle having a resealable passageway for filling, pressurizing and emptying the bottle and a carbon dioxide source connected to the bottle through a conduit. Preferably, a rounded interior bottom and projections are provided on the interior of the bottle. A diptube is also provided which preferably has radially extended vanes. The rounded bottom, interior projections and vanes will promote fogging when a bottle containing liquid and carbon dioxide is shaken. Consequently, carbonated water can be made easily by filling the bottle with water and carbon dioxide preferably at 60 p.s.i. and shaking the bottle, then repeating the process until the desired carbonation level is reached.

An apparatus for making carbonated beverages comprising: (a) a reuseable bottle comprised of a top, a base and at least one wall attached between the top and the base which together define an enclosed space and at least one valve attached to said top having a single resealable passageway for repeated filling, pressurizing and emptying the bottle, said bottle being sized and constructed so as to be capable of retaining fluid at pressures above atmospheric pressure, said valve being capable of being opened by one of a filler probe and a discharge nozzle which engages the valve and pushes toward the enclosed space and said valve being closed when the valve is not pushed toward the enclosed space and when open said valve will permit a liquid to easily flow through said valve; (b) a carbon dioxide source having a gas valve through which carbon dioxide may be dispensed upon actuation of the valve; and (c) conduit connected between the valve of the carbon dioxide source and the valve of the bottle.
