How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any remaining beverage and consume within a few days. Keep the bottle sealed tightly to preserve carbonation. Store unopened bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps maintain the quality and fizziness of the drink until you are ready to enjoy it.
