1
Chill
Ensure the Topo Chico bottle has been chilled in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours. Sparkling mineral water is best served very cold to preserve carbonation and crisp flavor.
2
Prepare glass
If using ice, fill a tall glass (12–16 oz) with 1 cup of ice. If you prefer no ice, skip this step so the water remains undiluted and extra fizzy.
3
Pour
Open the chilled Topo Chico bottle carefully. Hold the glass at a slight angle and pour slowly to preserve bubbles. Pour the entire bottle (or pour to desired level) into the prepared glass.
4
Add citrus
Squeeze a lime wedge over the glass to add a bright citrus note, then drop the wedge into the drink if desired. Alternatively use a lemon wedge for a slightly different citrus profile.
5
Garnish and serve
Optional: add a mint sprig or cucumber slices for aroma and subtle flavor. If you prefer a salted rim, moisten the glass edge with the citrus wedge and dip into 1 tsp salt before pouring. Serve immediately to enjoy maximum effervescence.

6
Flavor variations: add a few cucumber slices and a mint sprig for a refreshing twist; substitute lime with lemon or grapefruit for different citrus notes. For an adult cocktail, pair Topo Chico with a shot (1.5 oz) of tequila, mezcal, gin, or vodka and a squeeze of lime.
7
Storage: Once opened, reseal the bottle and refrigerate; consume within 1–2 days for best carbonation.
