Sparkling Water Base
Optional Citrus & Garnish
Optional Sweet/Soda Variation
Method
Prepare Glass & Ice
Chill glass
If desired, place the serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to chill. Otherwise, proceed with a clean, room-temperature glass.
Fill the chilled or clean serving glass with 1 cup of ice cubes, leaving some room at the top for the sparkling water and any garnish.
Assemble Beverage
Open a 12 fl oz bottle or can of San Pellegrino sparkling water (chilled) carefully to preserve carbonation.
Slowly pour the San Pellegrino over the ice into the glass to minimize excess foaming and preserve effervescence.
If using the optional citrus & garnish: add 2 lemon slices and a lime wedge to the glass. Clap the mint leaves gently between your palms to release aromatic oils and tuck them into the drink or use as a sprig for garnish.
Optional Sweet/Soda Variation
For a lightly sweetened or flavored version, stir in 1 tsp simple syrup (or honey syrup) and/or 1 tsp fruit cordial to the glass after pouring the San Pellegrino. Stir gently once with a bar spoon to incorporate without knocking out carbonation.
Taste and adjust: add another 1/2 tsp syrup or cordial if you prefer slightly sweeter or more fruit-forward flavor. Avoid vigorous stirring.
Finish & Serve
Give the drink a final gentle stir, position the garnish (lemon slice on rim, mint sprig upright), and serve immediately while bubbly.
Discard unused citrus or syrup portions; leftovers of syrup or cordial should be refrigerated according to their packaging.
