To best enjoy this sparkling citrus soda, ensure it is served cold. Open the container carefully to preserve the carbonation. Pour it into a glass, perhaps with ice if desired.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining beverage in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. This helps to retain the carbonation and keep the flavor fresh. It is best to consume the opened portion within a few days for optimal enjoyment.
