Bottled Water Recipe

Beverage

1. 1

   Serve bottled water

   Chill the bottled spring water in a refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving, or place the bottle in an ice bucket for 15–20 minutes to cool quickly.

2. 2

   If using ice, fill a clean glass with 4 ice cubes. Pour chilled bottled water directly from the bottle into the glass to about 1/2 inch (1 cm) from the rim.

3. 3

   If desired, garnish the glass with a lemon wedge on the rim and a fresh mint sprig placed gently on top or into the glass. Do not drop garnish into the bottle if you are keeping water sealed for later.

4. 4

   If serving the bottle directly, wipe the neck of the bottle with a clean napkin before opening. Open the bottle and present it chilled to the guest with a clean glass on the side if requested.

5. 5

   Store any unfinished opened bottle in the refrigerator with the cap loosely replaced and consume within 24–48 hours for best taste.
