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.
