Categories Vinegar Boil

Yield SERVES 1

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (one 12-ounce can) seltzer water or sparkling mineral water
1 tablespoon good-quality vinegar (champagne, Banyuls, white balsamic, or fruit vinegars are especially good), more to taste
Honey or simple syrup (optional; see Tip)
Lime, lemon, or orange twist, for garnish

Steps:

Combine the seltzer and vinegar in a large glass and stir to combine. If you like, add sweetener to taste. Add ice and top with the citrus twist.
TIP
Simple syrup is easy to make and is great to have on hand for sweetening cocktails, iced coffee or tea, or this simple spritzer. Combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan (2 cups is a good amount), bring to a boil, and cook until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cool and refrigerate for indefinite shelf life.
