To best enjoy this soda, serve it chilled. Pour it over ice for an extra cold and diluted experience, which can also help to temper the sweetness slightly.

For a simple yet satisfying beverage, open the can or bottle and pour directly into a glass. It is ready to drink immediately after opening.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
After opening, any remaining beverage should be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator. This helps to preserve the carbonation and prevent the flavor from diminishing. It is best consumed within a few days of opening for optimal freshness and fizziness.
