That's disgusting. And seriously WRONG.

Faux San Pellegrino. Lots of it today, it's going to be warm this week.

All appropriate in this weather!

Lots of faux San Pellegrino, here. It looks like it's going to hit at least 30 today.

Proud Source sparkling spring water (which actually seems to be mineral water). Not bad, but I still prefer the bubbles and flavor of Topo Chico.

"Lightly carbonated" on a label seems to mean "probably not carbonated enough for Doug".

One advantage of making my faux San Pellegrino -- I get to control the amount of fizz.

Currently drinking cranberry juice, but switching to fizz in just a moment.

Some day. My research is still incomplete. Do you actually add the minerals, too, or is it basically soda?

Stephen Colbert tried one on his show last night. I'm not sure his gag reflex was entirely for comedic effect.

I add the minerals too, based on a spreadsheet I found on the web put together by Martin Lersch. Choose your preferred mineral water, input your local water mineral content (easy since I build on top of RO water), and it will tell you how much of which minerals to add. Most of the minerals are likely available from a u-brew store, or I get mine off of Amazon. Measure and mix them, and then use 1/8th teaspoon per litre bottle. YMWMV, of course.

BTW, if you do decide to go the route of making your own, you'll fairly quickly want to look into local CO2 providers and paintball cylinders. All it takes is an adapter.

Thanks! That goes along with a lot of the research I've done on mineral water recipes AND home carbonation.

My usual summer trio (water, unsweetened iced tea, Coke Zero). While not as bad as last year's heat dome, it's still to warm for me to be comfortable.

The obligatory beer after the shower after putting a new starter on the vehicle. I've chosen Spyglass (from Urban Artifact) for the occasion. Tastes like winning.
