Polar Original Premium Seltzer

Polar Original Premium Seltzer is a plain carbonated water, sold here in the mixers and soda water section rather than with the ready-to-drink cocktails or hard seltzers. Seltzers in this style are usually unflavored, with a clean, neutral taste and a crisp, sharp carbonation. Expect no sweetness and no real aroma, which is the reason to buy it. It adds fizz and volume to a drink without changing the flavor of what's in the glass. That makes it a useful pantry staple for anyone mixing at home. It suits highballs and spritz-style drinks, where the bubbles carry the spirit, liqueur, wine or bitters instead of competing with them. It also works in long drinks built over ice, such as a whiskey and soda or a gin and soda. Use it to lighten fruit juice or to stretch a cordial or syrup into a tall refresher. It's equally fine on its own over ice with a wedge of lemon or lime. For the sharpest fizz, chill it thoroughly before opening, and pour it over plenty of ice in a highball or tall glass. Add it last and pour gently down the side of the glass or over a spoon to keep the bubbles. Once opened, carbonated water goes flat fairly quickly, so use it the same day. Keep unopened bottles or cans cold and out of direct light and heat. The details provided don't list the package size, bottle count or ingredient panel. Check the label for those.
