A beverage dispensing apparatus includes a modular dispensing tower which may be positioned remote from both the product and the cooling unit or, alternatively, may be mounted onto the cooling unit housing using quick connect couplings. When positioned remote from the cooling unit, the modular dispensing tower connects to the cooling unit through an insulated trunk line which allows positioning of the modular dispensing tower up to twenty five feet away from the cooling unit. Additionally, the modular dispensing tower comprises an insulated manifold which operates to significantly decrease the temperature of the dispensed 'casual' drink. The manifold houses a plurality of product conduits which are positioned against a carbonated water conduit which works in a recirculation system to greatly reduce the temperature of the dispensed 'casual' drink. Furthermore, the modular dispensing tower may reside on the countertop or may be mounted onto the edge of the countertop in order to save countertop space. Also to save countertop space, the cooling unit and product source are configured to fit underneath a counter with only the modular dispensing tower residing on the counter or mounted onto a counter edge. The beverage dispensing apparatus, therefore, greatly saves countertop space while providing a modular dispensing tower configuration which greatly reduces the temperature of the dispensed 'casual' drink.

Modular dispensing tower

The present invention is a beverage dispensing apparatus which allows the dispensing of beverages from a modular dispensing tower which may be positioned remote from both the product and the cooling unit. The modular dispensing tower is connected to the cooling unit through an insulated trunk line which allows its positioning up to twenty five feet away from the cooling unit. Additionally, the modular dispensing tower comprises an insulated manifold which operates to significantly decrease the temperature of the dispensed 'casual' drink. The manifold houses a plurality of product conduits which are positioned against a carbonated water conduit which works in a recirculation system to greatly reduce the temperature of the dispensed 'casual' drink. Furthermore, the modular dispensing tower may reside on the countertop or may be mounted onto the edge of the countertop in order to save countertop space. Also to save countertop space, the cooling unit and product source is configured to fit underneath a counter with only the modular dispensing tower residing on the counter or mounted onto an edge. The present invention therefore greatly saves countertop space while providing a modular dispensing tower configuration which greatly reduces the temperature of the dispensed 'casual' drink.
