Sparkling Water (per serving)

Method

Sparkling Water (per serving)

1

Chill and prepare

Ensure the carbonated water is well chilled before serving. Cold water retains carbonation better and gives a crisper mouthfeel.

2

Prepare glass

Fill a tall glass with 4 ice cubes. If using mint, gently slap 2–3 mint leaves between your palms to release aroma and add them to the glass.

3

Add syrup (optional)

If you want a lightly flavored or sweetened sparkling water, add 1/2 teaspoon of simple syrup or flavored syrup to the glass. Stir once gently to combine.

4

Pour sparkling water

Slowly pour 12 ounces of cold carbonated water into the glass down the side to preserve bubbles. Pouring gently reduces foaming and keeps more carbonation.

5

Finish and garnish

Squeeze one lemon or lime wedge lightly over the drink (optional) and drop the wedge into the glass. Give a gentle stir with a long spoon to integrate the syrup or citrus without losing too much carbonation.

6

Serve

Serve immediately while cold and effervescent.
