What it is
This is a sparkling beverage that combines the tartness of lime with the sweet-tart flavor of raspberries. It is a carbonated drink, meaning it has bubbles. The flavor profile is designed to be refreshing and slightly fruity. It is typically made with water, natural flavors, and carbonation. Some versions may contain sweeteners, but this one is unsweetened.

To enjoy this raspberry lime seltzer, simply open the can or bottle and pour into a glass. It is best served cold. For a more complex beverage, consider using it as a base for drinks.

How it differs from similar foods
Unlike sodas, this seltzer contains no added sugar, offering a cleaner taste. Its flavor is derived from natural fruit essences, providing a more subtle fruitiness compared to artificially flavored beverages. The carbonation level is also typically moderate, making it less intense than some other sparkling drinks.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining seltzer in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a day or two to maintain its carbonation and fresh flavor. Keep unopened cans or bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
