effervescently

In sparkling manner

Effervescently describes doing something with bubbly, lively enthusiasm—the manner of someone whose energy seems to fizz and sparkle.

Like carbonated water releasing bubbles, an effervescent person radiates visible excitement: She greeted everyone effervescently, bouncing from guest to guest.

The word suggests infectious, irrepressible cheerfulness.
