Its carbonation is usually lighter than that of a cola, providing a gentler fizz. The combination of strawberry and lemonade creates a unique sweet-tart balance not found in single-flavor sparkling waters.

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any remaining seltzer and consume within a few days. Keep unopened cans or bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain optimal carbonation and flavor. Avoid storing in extreme temperatures.
