to hold onto the fizz in your beverage!
Make your morning fizz –
Add some carbonated water to freshly
squeezed orange or grapefruit juice. Serve in
a champagne glass with a citrus wedge and
make the kids feel extra special.
To each their own –
You decide how much fizz you want in your
drink. Some prefer water with their bubbles,
while others prefer bubbles to dominate the
water; you be the judge. The more times you
press, the more bubbles are being forced
into your water.
The Chill Factor–
To get the best bubbles, be sure to use
the coldest water possible. Store the
carbonating bottles filled with fresh, filtered
water in the refrigerator so they are ready
to go when you are!
At a moment’s notice –
Simple syrup can keep in the refrigerator for
up to one month. Make a big batch so you
can whip up drinks at any time.
