What each ingredient does
- Lime juice
- Provides the bright, sharp acidity that defines the drink's flavor.
- Phosphate
- Adds a tart, acidic bite that sharpens the overall flavor.
- Soda water
- Supplies carbonation, creating fizz and a light, lively texture.
The step that matters
Top off with soda water without frothing. Soda water loses carbonation quickly when agitated or poured too fast, which causes foam and a flat drink. Pouring gently preserves the fizz and keeps the drink lively.
