How to keep the rest
After opening, any remaining sparkling water should be tightly resealed to preserve its carbonation. Store the bottle upright in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a few days of opening to maintain optimal fizz and flavor. Avoid storing at room temperature, as this can cause the carbonation to dissipate more quickly.
