Sparkling Water
Method
Sparkling Water
Chill and prepare glass
If desired, chill the glass in the refrigerator or freezer for 5–10 minutes. Gather chilled carbonated water, ice (if using), and garnish ingredients.
Add ice
Place 3–4 ice cubes into the chilled glass if you want your drink extra cold. Omit ice if you prefer undiluted sparkling water.
Pour sparkling water
Hold the bottle or can at an angle and slowly pour 1 cup of chilled carbonated water into the glass to preserve as much carbonation as possible. Pour gently down the side of the glass.
Garnish (optional)
Squeeze the lemon or lime wedge lightly over the glass to release a few drops of juice, then drop the wedge into the glass. Clap or gently bruise the mint leaves between your palms to release aroma and add them as a garnish.
Serve
Serve immediately while the water is fizzy. Stirring is not necessary. Replenish with more sparkling water as needed.
