- Served chilled on its own
- Mixed with fruit juice
- Used as a base for cocktails

Seltzer is best served very cold. Open the can carefully to avoid excessive foaming. It can be poured directly into a glass over ice. For mixed drinks, it adds carbonation and a subtle crispness without altering the primary flavors of other ingredients. It is excellent for diluting stronger beverages or for creating lighter versions of classic cocktails. Its effervescence can also be used to lighten the texture of some desserts.
