Still water

Sparkling water (optional)

Garnish (optional)

Method

Still water

  1. 1

    Chill and serve still

    If serving still water only, chill the Mountain Valley still bottle in the refrigerator until cold (about 1–2 hours) or place in an ice bucket for 10–15 minutes. Pour 1 cup (or fill to desired level) of still water into a clean, chilled glass. Optionally add ice cubes if you prefer your water colder.

Sparkling water (optional)

  1. 2

    Chill and serve sparkling

    If serving the sparkling option, chill the Mountain Valley sparkling bottle as above. Gently open the bottle to preserve carbonation. Pour 1 cup (or fill to desired level) into a clean, chilled glass. If you plan to combine still and sparkling in one glass, pour the still water first, then slowly add the sparkling to retain fizz.

Garnish (optional)

  1. 3

    Prepare garnish: cut one lemon into wedges. For a subtle aromatic touch, bruise a mint sprig gently between your palms to release oils. Slide a lemon wedge onto the rim of the glass and float the mint sprig on top or tuck it into the glass. Insert a straw or stirring spoon if desired.

Serving suggestions

  1. 4

    Present still and sparkling options side-by-side so guests can choose. Keep extra bottles chilled in an ice bucket for refills. For mixed service (half still, half sparkling), pour equal parts still and sparkling into a glass over ice and garnish as desired.
