The device includes a syrup package, a source of carbonated water, and a mixing head connected to the source of carbonated water and to said syrup package for mixing a measured amount of the carbonated water with the syrup for producing carbonated drinks. The syrup package is carried in a receptacle and is coupled to a source of pressurized gas. A valve having a valve actuator positioned thereon is interposed between the source of pressurized gas and the coupling device with the valve actuator obstructing the removal of the package when in a first position and when in a second position venting the syrup package prior to permitting removal thereof.
