Perhaps a stupid question, but have you tried simply mixing frozen
concentrate with fizzy water? Or for that matter, just mixing the jug
juice half-and-half with fizzy water?

Hmmm... That might be interesting.

I did understand your point. What you're saying is that a blind taste test
might not know the difference if we either
(a) Mix 1/2 seltzer + 1/2 water, or,
(b) Mix 1/2 seltzer + 1/2 juice.

The pro is that this is as simple as it gets ... Of course, the obvious con
might be that test (a) isn't bubbly enough and test (b) is too diluted (in
addition to potentially not being bubbly enough).

But it's worth a try from someone out there.

BTW, I saw articles suggesting dropping a chunk of dry ice into the liquid
(outside, in case it pops the top when the very cold dry ice fizzes into
the not as cold liquid). That would accomplish the same thing as you are
suggesting.
