Perrier Recipe

Chill bottle

Place the Perrier bottle or can in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours prior to serving so it is well chilled (around 38°F / 3°C). Cold sparkling water tastes best and retains carbonation longer when served cold.

Prepare glass

Select a tall, narrow glass (collins or highball) or a stemmed glass if preferred. If using ice, add 3–4 medium ice cubes to the glass. Note: adding ice will dilute and chill faster.

Open and pour

Carefully open the chilled Perrier bottle or can to preserve carbonation. Hold the glass at a slight angle and slowly pour 12 oz (about one standard bottle or one full can) down the side of the glass to reduce foaming and preserve effervescence.

Garnish and serve

Optionally squeeze the lime wedge lightly over the surface (one quick squeeze) and drop it into the glass, or set the lemon wheel on the rim. Add a mint sprig for an aromatic garnish if desired. Serve immediately so the drink is at peak fizziness.
