soda water
Water that has been highly charged with carbon dioxide, which gives it effervescence. Soda water, also called club soda,
SELTZER WATER or just plain carbonated water, contains a small amount of sodium bicarbonate, which, because it's alkaline, can help neutralize an acidic stomach. Soda water is combined with sweeteners and various flavorings to produce a wide variety of
SOFT DRINKS. Many
COCKTAILS also use soda water as an ingredient. See also
