fizz
Carbonation's audible presence
Fizz is the hissing, bubbling sound of gas escaping from liquid—the noise a freshly opened soda makes, or champagne in a glass.
The word extends to the bubbles themselves and to effervescent drinks: a gin fizz.
As a verb, to fizz is to produce this sound and action: The tablet fizzed in the water.
Fizz can suggest energy or excitement: The team played with real fizz.
