The boy’s choice for mixing sodas at a fountain: a mix of EVERYTHING, ALL MUST GO IN, MUST CONQUER SODA MACHINE
The girl’s choice: Lemonade plus maybe some Sprite? If that?
Actually, when I come across the juice dispensers, I typically don’t even get any of them because they are SO surgery and need to be watered down. Every now and then I go for the Cranberry + Lemonade combo. The other day I discovered fizzy water + Orange Juice = Orangina (CRAZY french website they have BTW). I will admit, it’s probably sorta rare to find *sparkling* water at a soda fountain dispenser, but if you can, or you have a selection of free bottled beverages (like at my FT job), mix the 2 for instant Orangina pleasure. I would go with about a 1:1 ratio, possible slightly more sparkling water. I’d also go with the Lemon flavored Perrier as well if you can.
If Orgina isn’t your thing, go for the juice isle at the g-store (I hope for your juice exploration sake it is a Trader Joes), and start mixing!
Enjoy!
p.s. Any good combos out there??

ha, you know, I thought of you when I wrote this. I was just late to the band wagon.

Most soda fountains offer both clean and carbonated water. If you look between the boxes with the soda labels on them, there are normally two unmarked little black levers. Normally, they are to the inside, of each of the outside sodas.

Absolutely. If you’ve ever had Izzy, the ultra-good-for-you soda-like juice beverage, you can basically do the same thing with neutral fizzy water. Blackberry juice is the shit. Açaí is an expensive but healthy option, too.
