San Pellegrino (750 Ml) Recipe

Chill bottle

Ensure the San Pellegrino 750 ml bottle is well chilled (ideally 4–8°C / 39–46°F). If not chilled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or place in an ice bucket for 20–30 minutes.

Open carefully

Remove any foil or seal from the bottle top. Hold the bottle upright and twist the cap slowly to open — do so gently to control the release of carbonation and avoid sudden fizzing.

Pour

Tilt the glass at a slight angle (about 45°) and pour the water slowly down the side to preserve bubbles and avoid excessive foaming. Fill to desired level, typically leaving 1–2 cm from the rim.

Add ice (optional)

If you prefer your water very cold, add 4–6 fresh ice cubes to the glass before or after pouring. Note: ice will slightly dilute as it melts.

Garnish with citrus

If using citrus, cut a thin wedge of lemon or lime and either drop it into the glass or balance it on the rim. For a lighter aroma, twist the wedge over the glass to release oils before adding.

Mint (optional)

Lightly slap a mint sprig between your hands to release aroma and place it in the glass or on the rim as a fragrant garnish.

Serve immediately while still fizzy. Present the bottle on a tray or alongside the filled glass so guests can top up as desired. If serving multiple people, pour half/one-third into each glass and leave the bottle at the table.

Store any remaining water upright in the refrigerator with the cap replaced to retain carbonation for up to 24–48 hours; expect gradual loss of effervescence.
