Soda water, also known as carbonated water or sparkling water, is a beverage that is infused with carbon dioxide gas under pressure, resulting in the characteristic fizz and bubbles. It is a popular ingredient in various cocktails and mixed drinks due to its effervescence and refreshing quality. Soda water can be enjoyed on its own as a refreshing non-alcoholic beverage, or it can be used as a mixer to add a bubbly element to cocktails and mocktails. It is often combined with other ingredients such as fruit juices, syrups, or spirits to create fizzy and flavorful drinks.
