How people cook with it
Seltzer water is a versatile drink. It can be enjoyed on its own or used in various recipes.
- Served chilled on a hot day
- Mixed with fruit juice
- Used as a base for cocktails
- A simple hydration choice
Seltzer water is best served cold. You can pour it directly into a glass, perhaps with a few ice cubes. For a simple twist, add a slice of lemon, lime, or cucumber. It is also a popular mixer for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, helping to lighten flavors and add effervescence. When using it in recipes, its neutral taste allows other ingredients to shine. It can be used in place of still water in some applications where a lighter texture is desired.
How it differs from similar foods
It also differs from tonic water, which is typically sweetened and contains quinine. This seltzer water focuses purely on the sensation of carbonation and the subtle essence of natural flavors.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a plain, bubbly beverage can enjoy this seltzer water.
How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the container tightly and refrigerate. It is best consumed within a few days of opening to maintain its carbonation. Store unopened bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
