1
Chilled bottle
Keep the bottled water chilled in a refrigerator or ice bucket until ready to serve. For best taste, store still water at 2–8°C (36–46°F) and sparkling water similarly to retain carbonation.
2
Prepare glass
If using a glass, rinse it briefly with cold water. Add ice cubes if desired (do not add ice to sparkling water if you want to preserve carbonation as long as possible).
3
Open bottle
Remove cap or seal from the selected bottle. For sparkling water, open slowly and slightly tilt the bottle away from people to control fizz and reduce overflow.
4
Pour
Pour still or sparkling water into the prepared glass, filling to about 3/4 full to avoid spills. If serving directly from the bottle, simply present the bottle with the cap removed or partially unscrewed.
5
Garnish (optional)
Add a lemon or lime wedge on the rim of the glass or squeeze a small amount into the water if desired. Place a cocktail straw if preferred.
6
Serve
Place the glass or bottle on a coaster or small plate and serve immediately while chilled. Replace the bottle cap if remaining water is to be stored; refrigerate unused water.
