Carbonating: The Cheap and Easy Way

Step 10 Opening the Beverage

It is time to open the drink! First pinch the tube above the bottle. THIS IS IMPORTANT. Pinching the tube will prevent a ton of CO2 form coming out of the other pressurized bottle. If you don't do it, your drink will spray everywhere and probably lose its fizz. While pinching the tube, slowly open the bottle with your drink. Now bring the other bottle with the tube still pinched to the sink and release it. You will notice a ton of CO2 escaping, sometimes the vinegar, baking soda, toilet paper mixture will come out too. Thats why you should do it over the sink.
