Method
Sparkling Water
- 1
Chill and prepare glass
If desired, chill the serving glass in the refrigerator or freezer for 5–10 minutes beforehand to keep the drink colder longer. Rinse and dry a lemon/lime wedge and a mint sprig if you plan to use them.

Measure and pour sparkling water
Measure 2 cups (about 480 ml) of cold sparkling water and slowly pour it into the glass over the ice (if using) to preserve carbonation. Pour gently down the side of the glass to reduce foaming.

Add flavorings (optional)
If you want a hint of citrus, squeeze the juice of 1 lemon or lime wedge into the sparkling water, then drop the squeezed wedge into the glass. For a herbal note, bruise the mint sprig lightly between your fingers and add it to the glass. If you prefer sweetness, stir in 1 teaspoon of simple syrup or a sweetener of your choice until dissolved.

Final stir and serve
Give the drink one or two gentle stirs to combine any added flavors without flattening the carbonation. Serve immediately while fizzy.
