What it is

The fizziness comes from carbonation, which is the process of dissolving carbon dioxide gas into the liquid. It is a popular choice for a refreshing drink on its own or as a mixer.

To best enjoy this soda, ensure it is served very cold. Pour it into a glass over ice for maximum refreshment. If using it as a mixer, combine it with your chosen spirits or other non-alcoholic ingredients. The carbonation can dissipate if left open for too long, so it is best to use it relatively soon after opening. It can also be used in some baked goods to add a light, citrusy note and help with leavening.
