Abstract
A refrigerator appliance includes a beverage reservoir disposed within a chilled chamber of a cabinet. A conduit extends between a carbon dioxide source and the beverage reservoir. A controller is configured for activating the carbon dioxide source such that the carbon dioxide source directs carbon dioxide into the beverage reservoir via the conduit when liquid is dispensed from the beverage reservoir.
