11 Nimbu Pani Variations You Need to Taste

9. Sparkling Nimbu Pani (Club Soda or Prosecco)

Taste profile: Fizzy, bright, and festive — a grown-up twist that works as a mocktail or cocktail. Ingredients for 1–2 servings (mocktail): Juice of 2 limes, ½ cup club soda, ½ cup chilled water, 1–2 teaspoons sugar or simple syrup, ice, and mint for garnish. For a cocktail, replace club soda with chilled prosecco and reduce sugar slightly. Preparation steps: Mix lime juice and syrup in a glass. Add chilled water and club soda; stir gently to keep fizz. Add ice and mint. For the cocktail version, pour prosecco slowly over the mix. Serving suggestions: Serve in flutes for prosecco or tall glasses for mocktails. Garnish with lime twist and mint. Health note: Fizzy versions are hydrating but may feel more filling; moderate alcohol use for cocktails is advised. Substitutions: Use soda water or lemon-lime soda for a sweeter, easy-to-find option.
