Soda water, also known as carbonated water or sparkling water, is water that has been infused with carbon dioxide gas under pressure. This process creates bubbles, giving the water a fizzy texture. Soda water can be enjoyed on its own or used as a mixer in various beverages, including cocktails and soft drinks. Many people enjoy soda water for its refreshing taste and effervescence. It is often calorie-free and can be a healthier alternative to sugary sodas. Some brands also offer flavored versions, which include natural or artificial flavors, making it a popular choice for those looking to hydrate without added sugars.
