How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused portion. It is best consumed within a few days of opening to maintain its fresh flavor. Keep the container sealed tightly to prevent spoilage and to preserve the effervescence if it is a carbonated variety. Store in a cool, dark place if unopened.
