carbonated beverages

Bubbly soft drinks

Carbonated beverages are drinks infused with carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles and a fizzy sensation.

The category includes sodas, sparkling water, beer, and champagne.

The carbonation adds texture and a slightly acidic bite that many find refreshing: I switched from juice to carbonated beverages for the fizz.
