Sparkling Water
What it is
This is a carbonated beverage, meaning it has been infused with carbon dioxide gas under pressure. This process creates the characteristic bubbles and effervescence. It is typically made from purified water and carbonation, offering a crisp and refreshing drinking experience. It is often consumed on its own or as a mixer.
How people cook with it
Sparkling water is a versatile beverage that can be enjoyed in many ways. It serves as a refreshing drink and a base for various concoctions.
- Refreshing standalone drink
- Mixer for cocktails

To enjoy, simply open the container and pour. It can be served chilled, over ice, or at room temperature. For mixed drinks, combine it with spirits, fruit juices, or other flavorings. It adds a lively fizz to both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. It is also a popular choice for those seeking a bubbly alternative to still water or sugary sodas. The effervescence can enhance the overall sensory experience of a drink.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike still water, sparkling water contains dissolved carbon dioxide, which creates its signature fizziness. Flavored sparkling waters may contain natural or artificial flavorings, differentiating them from plain versions.

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any remaining liquid. Seal the container tightly to preserve the carbonation. It is best consumed within a few days of opening to maintain its effervescence. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or warm environments, as this can cause the carbonation to dissipate more quickly.
