Perhaps a stupid question, but have you tried simply mixing frozen

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.

I keep a "corney keg" of water (5 gal soda keg) full of water and carbonated,
with a tap. I often just put a spoonful of flavoring, like "coffee syrup
flavors" into a glass and top it off with the soda water.
