Sparkling Water with Lime
A simple, crisp, and incredibly refreshing non-alcoholic beverage, combining effervescent sparkling water with the bright, zesty tang of fresh lime. It's a clean and invigorating drink perfect for any time of day.
Prepare glass and ice
Choose a tall glass and fill it with 1 serving of ice, if desired. For maximum fizz, ensure the glass is clean and cold.
💡 Tips:
- •Using chilled sparkling water and glass minimizes ice melt and keeps the drink effervescent.
Add lime
Squeeze the juice from 1-2 lime wedges directly into the glass. Alternatively, add 0.5 ounce (15 ml) of fresh lime juice.
💡 Tips:
- •Adjust the amount of lime based on your preference for tartness. Roll the lime firmly on a counter before cutting to yield more juice.
Pour sparkling water and serve
Pour 8-12 ounces (240-360 ml) of chilled sparkling water over the lime juice and ice. Stir gently once or twice to combine. Garnish with 1 lime wheel, if desired. Serve immediately.
💡 Tips:
- •Stir gently to avoid losing too much carbonation. Serve as soon as possible for peak fizziness.
- 💡For extra flavor, muddle a few fresh mint leaves or a slice of cucumber with the lime before adding water.
- 💡Experiment with different brands of sparkling water, as some have different levels of carbonation and mineral profiles.
- 💡You can add a thin slice of ginger or a few berries for a subtle fruit infusion.
- 💡If you prefer a hint of sweetness, add a tiny splash of simple syrup, honey, or a natural sweetener.
