1. A portable carbonating dispenser comprising:
a base liquid container for containing a base liquid supply;
a container closure including a dispensing passage for dispensing base liquid from the base liquid container;
a carbonation gas container for containing a supply of carbonation gas;
a carbonation flow control assembly for conveying carbonation gas from the carbonation gas container to pressurize the base liquid supply, the carbonation flow control assembly including a user-actuated flow control component for controlling a flow of carbonation gas to the base liquid supply; and
an isolating component for permitting a user to selectively isolate the dispensing passage and thereby prevent pressurization of the dispensing passage when the base liquid supply is pressurized by the carbonation gas, wherein the container closure includes a cartridge receiving space, and wherein the isolating component is adapted to isolate the cartridge receiving space from the base liquid container.
