San Pellegrino Ciao! Lime Sparkling Natural Mineral Water / 330mL / Cans

San Pellegrino Ciao! Lime is an Italian sparkling natural mineral water with a lime flavour, sold in 330mL cans. It is the sort of thing you keep cold for a hot afternoon, a long lunch or anyone at the table who isn't drinking.

The lime reads as fresh citrus zest rather than lolly sweetness, sitting lightly over the mineral water base. Bubbles are fine and steady, and the finish is dry and clean, with just enough tartness to reset the palate between mouthfuls.

Serve it straight from the fridge, poured over ice with a wedge of lime, or drink it from the can. It works alongside antipasti, seafood, pizza and salads, and makes a decent non-alcoholic option at a barbecue or picnic. It also does a tidy job as a mixer, lengthening gin, vodka or a light aperitivo without adding sugar to the glass.
