Still Water (Glass or Pitcher)

1 cups Cold filtered still water4 pieces Ice cubes (optional)1 slice Lemon slice (optional garnish)1 sprig Fresh mint sprig (optional garnish)

Sparkling Water (Glass or Pitcher)

1 cups Chilled sparkling mineral water or club soda4 pieces Ice cubes (optional)1 wedge Lemon or lime wedge (optional garnish)2 slices Fresh cucumber ribbon (optional garnish)

Method

Still Water (Glass or Pitcher)

Prepare glass or pitcher

If serving immediately, chill a glass briefly in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or use a chilled pitcher. This step is optional but improves perceived freshness.

Add ice (optional)

Place 3–4 ice cubes into the glass or fill the bottom of the pitcher with a small handful of ice if you prefer your water cold.

Pour water

Pour 1 cup of cold filtered still water into the glass (or fill the pitcher to desired volume). Pour gently to avoid splash.

Garnish (optional)

Float a thin lemon slice on top and add a fresh mint sprig for aroma. Do not muddle unless you want a brighter citrus/mint flavor.

Serve immediately. Refill as needed and keep remaining water covered and refrigerated.

Sparkling Water (Glass or Pitcher)

Chill bottle

Ensure the sparkling water is well chilled (ideally 38–45°F / 3–7°C). Chilled soda holds fizz better and tastes crisper.

Prepare glass or pitcher

Optional: chill the glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or use a chilled pitcher to preserve effervescence.

Add ice (optional)

Place 3–4 ice cubes into the glass. Note: ice can dilute the drink as it melts; skip ice if you prefer maximum fizz.

Pour sparkling water

Open the bottle carefully to preserve carbonation. Tilt the glass at a 45° angle and pour the chilled sparkling water slowly down the side to maintain bubbles. Pour 1 cup (or desired volume).

Garnish (optional)

Garnish with a lemon or lime wedge on the rim or a couple of thin cucumber slices in the glass for a subtle flavor note.

Serve immediately to enjoy peak effervescence. If storing an opened bottle, seal tightly and refrigerate to retain carbonation.
