This sparkling water is best served very cold, straight from the refrigerator. For a simple yet satisfying drink, pour it into a chilled glass over ice. It can also be used as a base for a wide array of mixed drinks. Combine it with fruit juices, herbs, or even a splash of your favorite liquor to create custom beverages.
