*To de-carbonate the Fresca, it can be left at room temperature in a container until the carbonation abates, or in a sealed container with some room at the top (the original Fresca bottle is perfect), shake vigorously followed by slowly opening the lid to allow the carbonation/gas to escape (opening too fast will cause the drink to explode from the bottle). Repeat until the Fresca is flat (approximately 5 times).
