Claim Text:
1. A carbonation device, comprising: a substantially hollow cap adapted to be mounted to an opening of a liquid container; a reciprocating syringe piston slidably mounted on the cap, the syringe piston having a bowl to hold and dispense a reactant liquid; an actuating mechanism mounted on the cap to selectively reciprocate the syringe piston; a reaction vessel mounted on the cap, the reaction vessel being adapted to hold at least one carbonating gas producing reactant to be mixed with the reactant liquid from the bowl; a carbonating gas distribution system connected to the cap, the carbonating gas distribution system to dispense a carbonating gas into a liquid held in the liquid container; and a pressure relief system to passively and selectively relieve pressure within the carbonating gas distribution system, wherein operation of the actuating mechanism creates a vacuum to draw the reactant liquid into the bowl, the reactant liquid being dispensed into the reaction vessel to be mixed with the at least one reactant to produce the carbonating gas to carbonate a liquid inside the liquid container.
