An apparatus and method for connecting a one-way disposable syrup package and associated dispensing attachment for use in a post-mix beverage dispenser system are described. The dispensing attachment includes a threaded socket for operatively engaging the threaded portion on the neck of a container constituting the syrup package, a cutting edge for puncturing a sealing member over the discharge end of the container, an inlet for supplying a compressed fluid into the container and an outlet for propelling the syrup concentrate toward the discharge opening of the container. The dispensing attachment is screwed onto the threaded portion of the container neck, preferably while the container is in an upright position until the cutting edge punctures the sealing member. Suitable conduits are then connected to the inlet and outlets of the attachment to connect the syrup package to the post-mix beverage dispenser system. |
