The present disclosure generally relates to beverages, and to systems and methods for creating beverages. In certain aspects, a beverage precursor can be contained within a gel, such as a carboxylate agarose gel or other gel suitable for human consumption. The precursor can be mixed with water to form a beverage. In some cases, a composition comprising the beverage precursor may also contain ice, e.g., a gel may be frozen or embedded in the ice. The ice may be heated or mixed with water (or otherwise physically disrupted) to release the precursor, which mixes with the water to form the beverage. A variety of beverage precursors are possible, including alcoholic beverages (e.g., beer, wine, rum, cognac, cocktails, etc.), juices, etc. In addition, in certain embodiments, the precursors may also include gas-forming agents, and/or other ingredients suitable for drinks, such as sugar, artificial sweetener, food coloring, flavoring, etc. Other aspects include methods for making or using such compositions, kits including such compositions, or the like.
