Step-by-Step Instructions
1
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.
Estimated time: less than 1 min
2
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.
Estimated time: 1 min
3
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.
Estimated time: 1 min

Fun Fact
While naturally occurring sparkling mineral waters have been consumed for centuries, the artificial carbonation of water was pioneered in the late 18th century by scientists like Joseph Priestley. Today, sparkling water with citrus is a ubiquitous healthy alternative to sugary sodas, often chosen for its clean taste and thirst-quenching properties.
Bartender's Tips
- 💡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.
