How to Keep Soda from Going Flat

Source
I'm not a soda drinker but where I live, in Northern California, the summer evenings are very warm.  Many nights, after we put Malea to bed, my husband and I love to sip on a refreshing, cold mojito or gin & tonic.  When you're craving a cool refreshment there's nothing more annoying then flat soda or tonic water.  

Recently we learned a very cool trick that I have to share with you!  This simple tip will keep your bottle of soda fizzy and carbonated for weeks, yes, I said weeks!  Wondering how this is possible, well I don't know how it works but all you have to do is get your shake on. :)  

  • After pouring yourself a nice cold glass of soda replace the cap tightly.
  • Next shake the bottle for a good 10 seconds.  Don't do this if you plan on having another glass in a few minutes, only when you are done with it for the day.
  • Place it back in the refrigerator.
  • Next time you get the bottle out open the cap slowly and carefully to release the fiz. 
  • Repeat this process every time you use the bottle until it is gone.
My husband and I buy the large bottles of tonic and soda water because it is so much cheaper and since we only use it a few times a week this trick helps it to last for weeks!  It's pretty amazing.

Enjoy sipping on your fully fizzy soda!
