What it is
This is a carbonated beverage, also known as sparkling water. It is made by infusing water with carbon dioxide gas under pressure. This process creates the characteristic bubbles and effervescence. It is typically clear and has a neutral taste, though some varieties may be flavored. This particular offering comes in a standard can size.
How people cook with it
Seltzer is a versatile drink that can be enjoyed on its own or as a mixer. Its crisp carbonation makes it a refreshing choice.
- Refreshing standalone drink
- Base for cocktails
- Mixer for juices
- Hydrating alternative
Seltzer can be served chilled straight from the can or poured over ice. It is commonly used as a mixer in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. For cocktails, it adds fizz and dilutes stronger flavors without adding sweetness or its own distinct taste. It can also be combined with fruit juices or purees for a lighter, sparkling beverage. Some people enjoy adding a squeeze of citrus, like lemon or lime, to enhance its flavor profile.
How it differs from similar foods
This results in a cleaner, more neutral taste. Flavored seltzers offer a subtle hint of fruit or other essences without the sugar found in many sodas.
Who it is for
People looking for a simple, bubbly beverage or a mixer for drinks will appreciate this seltzer.
How to keep the rest
To maintain its fizziness, store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate any remaining seltzer and consume it within a day or two to enjoy its carbonation.
