Sparkling Water (single bottle)
Method
Sparkling Water (serve chilled)
Chill bottle (if not already chilled)
Place the 750 ml bottle of sparkling mineral water in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. If you need it faster, place the sealed bottle in an ice bath (bowl with ice and cold water) for 20–30 minutes.
Prepare glass and optional garnish
Rinse and chill a tall glass if desired. Cut a fresh wedge of lemon or lime if using. Prepare a few ice cubes if you want the drink extra cold (note: adding ice will dilute as it melts).
Open and pour
Carefully unscrew or pop open the bottle to preserve carbonation (open slowly if pressure is high). Pour the sparkling water into the chilled glass, leaving room for ice and garnish if using. Pour gently down the side of the glass to reduce foaming.
Garnish and serve
Add 4 ice cubes if desired, then drop in the lemon or lime wedge or place it on the rim. Serve immediately so the drink remains fizzy.
