Seltzer fans, there’s a new taste in town. Meet Topo Chico: sparkling water’s palate-cleansing, hangover-quelling superior. A preferred sidecar at bars and coffee shops in the South, this aggressively carbonated Mexican mineral water can now be found in Boston thanks to Black Magic Coffee Co. owner David Simon, who spent eight months tracking down a dependable supply. After several failed Amazon deliveries and the good graces of a New Jersey distributor, the most potent soda alternative anywhere is now available in the Bay State.

$2.50 per bottle, available Sundays at the South End Open Market.
