In Japanese, how would one go about appending an additional request or
afterthought?

For example:

> 1: お水【みず】をお願【ねが】いします。

"Water please."

> 2: あっ、（・・・）、氷【こおり】を入【い】れていただけませんか。

"..Ah **also** , could you add ice (to that)?" / "Additionally, could you add
ice (to that)?"

More specifically, what would be the most natural way of filling in （・・・）? The
closest word I know of would be それから, though I feel this word may be incorrect
in this situation.

**Also** , is there a more natural way of phrasing the example sentences?

"Also..." interjection in Japanese; appending an additional request or afterthought
I would not use also in this situation in English or in Japanese. If you
wanted to add something to your order you could use 追加で or それに, but this
situation is different.

If it's soon and they haven't left the table, you don't have to put anything
in your ellipses. If they've started to leave, すみません, is fine. If some time
has elapsed you might want to make it clear you're talking about your water by
explicitly saying 水に.

Most naturally and commonly, that would be:

> 「あっ、 **あと** 、氷 **も** 入れていただけませんか？」

We also use 「それと」 as well.

Despite what you stated, 「それから」 is not a bad choice at all. Native speakers
use that, too.

You can say 「あとひとつ」, 「（それと/それから）もうひとつ」, etc. as well.
