fizzy
Full of bubbles
Fizzy describes drinks or liquids that contain dissolved carbon dioxide, which produces bubbles and a slight effervescence on the tongue.
Sodas, sparkling water, and champagne are all fizzy.
The word can extend to anything with similar bubbly qualities: The bath bomb made the water fizzy.
In British English, fizzy drinks is the standard term for what Americans call soda or pop.
