Sparkling Water
Method
Sparkling Water
Chill glass and prepare ice
If desired, place a glass in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes to chill. Add 3–6 ice cubes to the chilled glass depending on glass size and preference.
Add syrup (optional)
If you want a touch of sweetness or flavor, pour 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) of simple syrup or flavored syrup into the glass and gently stir once to combine with any melting ice.
Pour carbonated water
Slowly pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold carbonated water into the glass over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles and minimize foaming.
Garnish (optional)
If using citrus, cut the quarter piece of lemon or lime into a thin wedge or wheel and squeeze lightly over the drink, then drop it in. Clap or gently slap 2 mint leaves between your palms to release aroma and add them as a garnish.
Taste and adjust: if you added syrup and the drink is too sweet, add a splash more sparkling water. If it needs more brightness, add a few drops of lemon or lime juice. Serve immediately while bubbly.
