Perrier Recipe

Prepare and serve

1. 1

   Chill and prepare glass

   Ensure the Perrier bottle has been chilled in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours. If desired, chill the serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to keep the drink colder longer.

2. 2

   Add ice

   Place 3–4 ice cubes into a tall Collins glass or other preferred serving glass. Use fewer ice cubes if you want less dilution of chill (Perrier is typically served very cold with minimal melting).

3. 3

   Cut citrus

   Cut the half lime (and optional quarter lemon) into thin wedges or slices. Reserve one lime wedge for garnish and one wedge to squeeze if you want a hint of citrus flavor.

4. 4

   Pour Perrier

   Open the chilled Perrier bottle carefully to preserve carbonation. Slowly pour Perrier into the glass over the ice, filling to about 3/4–7/8 full to avoid overflow and preserve bubbles.

5. 5

   Finish and garnish

   Squeeze the reserved lime wedge lightly over the drink (optional) and drop it into the glass. Optionally add a thin slice of lemon for a brighter citrus note. Garnish with a mint sprig if desired. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
