Method

Water

1

Chill and prepare glass

If you prefer an extra-cold drink, place the serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice and cold water for 2–3 minutes, then discard the water before assembling. Otherwise, use a clean chilled glass.

2

Add ice (optional)

If you like your sparkling water very cold, add 3–4 fresh ice cubes to the glass. Skip this step if your sparkling water is well chilled and you want to avoid diluting it.

3

Pour sparkling water

Carefully open the bottle or can of chilled sparkling water. Hold the glass at a slight angle and slowly pour 2 cups (approximately 480 ml) of sparkling water into the glass to preserve effervescence and minimize foaming.

4

Garnish (optional)

If desired, squeeze one lemon or lime wedge lightly over the surface to add a hint of citrus, then drop the wedge into the glass. Optionally, clap a fresh mint sprig between your hands to release aroma and add it as a garnish.

5

Serve immediately. Sparkling water is best enjoyed right after pouring while bubbles are lively. Re-seal any remaining sparkling water and refrigerate for later use.
