Abstract

In a beverage dispensing nozzle (10), a cap member (11) includes first, second and third beverage syrup inlet ports (21-23) coupled to respective first, second, and third beverage syrup sources. The cap member further includes a mixing fluid inlet port (27) coupled to a mixing fluid source. An inner housing (16) including a chamber (40) is coupled to the cap member. A first annulus (17) disposed within the chamber of the inner housing defines a first annular beverage syrup channel (54) with the inner housing, wherein the first beverage syrup inlet port communicates beverage syrup to the first annular beverage syrup channel. A second annulus (18) disposed within the chamber of the inner housing defines a second annular beverage syrup channel (58) with the first annulus. A third annulus (19) disposed within the chamber of the inner housing defines a third annular beverage syrup channel (64) with the second annulus.
