A thermo-insulated (44) vessel (10) is provided with a plurality of sealed inserts (46) containing a freezable substance adapted to cool a liquid stored in said vessel. The vessel is also provided with means to carbonate the liquid and to dispense the carbonated liquid upon demand. The inserts can be secured to enable their contents to be frozen, than replaced when desired. A beverage syrup and water initially charged into the vessel are carbonated by gas released from a CO2 capsule (52) and the mixture is dispensed upon demand by operation of a valve (24). Two embodiments, showing different ways of arranging the sealed inserts, are described. <IMAGE> |
