fizzy drinks

Bubbly soft drinks

Fizzy drinks is the British English term for carbonated beverages—soft drinks infused with carbon dioxide to create effervescence.

The category includes colas, lemonades, and other sweetened sodas, though sparkling water also qualifies.

Americans typically say soda, pop, or soft drinks instead.

The kids wanted fizzy drinks but we only had juice.
