I have a SodaStream which I use to make soda water. My wife recently started purchasing very tasty, but relatively expensive soda drinks from the store, including "Rose Lemonade" (here: http://www.amazon.com/Fentimans-Rose-Lemonade-Soda-Bottle/dp/B00513EV60), and a pumkin ginger root beer. I offered to try to make equivalents at home, which worked out really well, by combining Torani Syrup, fresh ingredients (like Ginger Juice from Centrifugal juicer, or Lemon Juice from a lemon), and soda water from the Soda Stream.
OK, so everything is great, except now when I make a batch, my Soda Stream bottle is "in use" until we finish that batch. So I bought a few of these on Amazon, with rubber gasket seals: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000CFMBL/.
But here's the problem:
when I transfer the soda water from the Soda Stream bottle to the glass bottle, it fizzes up and loses most of it's carbonation. Is there any way to avoid this, or a technique I can use to pour it with less "fizz loss"?
Please let me know if more information would be helpful, and thanks so much!!!

More sodastream bottles is the best option if you are starting from a sodastream.
The best other alternative is to act just like a really old-fashioned soda counter.
Thus, your sodastream bottle only ever has plain carbonated water in it, not a specific flavor.
