An on demand carbonation system is shown for carbonating water or a noncarbonated beverage. A flow restrictor (17) meters a predetermined quantity of pressurized carbon dioxide to a T-fitting (23) for combination with a known quantity of the liquid as delivered thereto by a pump (25). The carbon dioxide and liquid flow therefrom through a turbulator (32) for enhancing the absorption of the gas by the liquid. The liquid and gas then flow through a heat exchange cooling coil (38) for further absorption of the gas as the liquid is cooled in the coil. The coil is connected to a dispensing valve (39) for dispensing of a cooled carbonated beverage therefrom.
