carbonated water

Bubbly plain beverage

Carbonated water is water infused with carbon dioxide gas under pressure, creating bubbles that give it a fizzy texture.

It serves as the base for soft drinks and cocktails, or is consumed plain as an alternative to still water: I'll have a gin and tonic with carbonated water.

Also called sparkling water, seltzer, or club soda, though these sometimes differ slightly in mineral content.
