Can You Make Ice Cubes from Sparkling Water?

Yes, you can make ice from sparkling water, but the process has a few nuances to keep in mind:

1. Carbonation Impact: The carbonation (CO₂ gas) in sparkling water will remain trapped in the ice to some extent, but as it freezes, some of the gas may escape. The result is ice with a slightly fizzy texture or small bubbles trapped inside.

2. Freezing Time: Sparkling water may take slightly longer to freeze compared to still water due to the dissolved CO₂.

3. Appearance: The ice cubes made from sparkling water might appear less clear than those from still water because of the bubbles.

4. Taste and Use: The ice will retain some of the sparkling water's flavor and fizz, making it great for enhancing drinks with a touch of effervescence.

To make sparkling water ice:

1. Pour sparkling water into an ice tray.
2. Freeze it as you would still water.
3. Use the ice cubes in your drinks for a fun, fizzy twist!
