Mineral Water (single serving)

For a pitcher (6 servings)

Method

Mineral Water (single serving)

1

Chill and prepare glass

If possible, chill your glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes for an extra-cold drink. Otherwise, select a clean highball or tumbler glass.

2

Add ice

Place 3–4 ice cubes into the chilled glass. Adjust the number of cubes to preference; more ice keeps the drink colder but dilutes slightly as it melts.

3

Pour mineral water

Open a bottle or can of cold carbonated mineral water and pour gently into the glass over the ice until you reach approximately 12 fl oz. Pour slowly to retain carbonation and reduce foaming.

4

Optional garnish

If using, squeeze a lemon wedge lightly over the surface for a hint of citrus, then drop the wedge into the glass. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint for aroma. Stir once gently with a bar spoon if desired.

5

Serve

Serve immediately while cold and fizzy. Provide a straw or stirring stick if preferred.

Pitcher (6 servings)

6

Chill pitcher and water

Chill a 2–3 quart pitcher in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes. Keep the mineral water chilled in the bottle or cooler until ready to assemble.

7

Prepare ice and garnishes

Add about 3–4 ice cubes to each glass when serving, or fill the pitcher with 12–16 ice cubes if you prefer the pitcher to be cold. Slice 6 lemons into thin rounds if using, and pick fresh mint sprigs.

8

Assemble pitcher

Pour 72 fl oz (6 x 12 fl oz) of cold carbonated mineral water into the chilled pitcher. Add lemon slices and mint sprigs if desired. Pour gently to preserve carbonation.

9

Serve from pitcher

When serving, pour mineral water from the pitcher into glasses filled with 3–4 ice cubes each. Offer additional lemon slices or mint as desired. Serve immediately to retain effervescence.
