A system for forming flavored ice from a refrigerator/freezer having an ice maker fluidly connected to a water source. A fluid dispersing module is formed along a water conduit to define a water source inlet port and an ice maker outlet port disposed on opposing ends thereof which are placed into fluid communication with the water source and the ice maker respectively. A fluid cartridge is pre-filled with a metered quantity of a flavored fluid mixable with water and has a cartridge inlet and outlet ports formed on opposing ends thereof which are sized and configured to engage the water source inlet port and the ice maker outlet port respectively. The fluid cartridge is connectable to the module and placeable into fluid communication with the water source and the ice maker to mix the flavored fluid and the water together and form a flavored mixture transferrable to the ice maker.
