if you want to drink good sparkling on the cheap south african mcc remains the way to go. champagne-style bottle fermentation using grapes enjoying the climate, but cheap as hell because south africa exports so much other absolute trash.

if you have bad cheap sparkling try putting a tiny bit of cassis or grenadine in it also dry sparkling + potato chips is magic

I like Crémant de Bourgogne. Which is basically Champagne but from Burgundy. But I only drink sparkling maybe 2 or 3 times a year, I'm not a huge fan of it.

Tasmanian sparkling is very high quality bubbles made in the champagne style as well, for 1/4 to 1/3 the price. there’s good quality cava around too, although like prosecco you have to avoid the two buck chuck that they produce in bulk.

i tried thc infused club soda last night. not bad, 2 cans after work and i felt a little loose for the rest of the night. not a big edibles fan overall but i could get into these. not as fizzy as i'd like but flavor was deece and very convenient

if thats what you got its totally fine. If u do have some limes tho u can make ur own lime cordial. I use this recipe: https://jeffreymorgenthaler.com/lime-cordial/ good for quick lime needs or for things like gins gimlet also for frozen margs using frozen limeaid concentrate rules

Fresh lime juice is clearly superior, I'll buy limes if I'm in the mood but I don't keep them around. I only drink like once a week at this point so if I get a craving for a margarita I'm not going to go out into the hellworld on a special trip to get limes. Plus I like to put a couple drops of lemon juice in a highball.
