A staple to any home bar is club soda, and I find myself running out of it more often than anything. There are several “fizzy waters” that you can outfit your bar with – club soda, seltzer, or mineral water – are they all the same and will they all work in cocktails? I’ve found the answer to be yes, but The Kitchn will give you the science behind it all. My short answer? Mineral water can be more flavorful and is more natural. That brings us to the mother of all mineral water: Perrier.

Lemon, Lime, Pink Grapefruit, and original Perrier, all great in their own right, also make some great simple cocktails:

Perrier Mojito

• 2 oz white rum
• 1 oz lime juice
• 1 tsp sugar
• muddle the above with mint leaves
• fill with ice, top with Perrier Lime
• garnish with mint sprig and a lime wedge

Perrier Tom Collins
