To provide a system, a method and a cartridge, which form a beverage by dissolving gas by carbonation of such a precursor liquid as water or other methods.SOLUTION: A gas source for being used to produce gas for being dissolved in a precursor liquid and/or a beverage medium such as a powdery drink mix or a liquid syrup can be prepared in a cartridge. The use of the one or more cartridges for the air source and/or the beverage medium enables the formation of a system that is not confusing and that facilitates use for forming a sparkling beverage, e.g., in a consumer's house.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】水のような前駆液体を炭酸化又はその他の方法で気体を溶解して飲料を形成するシステム、方法、及びカートリッジを提供する。【解決手段】前駆液体に溶解される気体を生成するために使用される気体源、及び／又は、粉末状ドリンクミックス又は液体シロップのような飲料媒質は、カートリッジ内に準備され得る。気体源及び／又は飲料媒質のための一つ又はそれ以上のカートリッジの使用は、例えば消費者の家において、スパークリング飲料を形成するための使用が簡単で混乱することがないシステムを形成し得る。【選択図】図２
