fountain drink

Tap-poured soft beverage

A fountain drink is a beverage dispensed from a soda fountain—the machine that mixes carbonated water with flavored syrup on demand.

The term distinguishes drinks served at restaurants and convenience stores from bottled or canned versions: Fountain drinks are $1.99 with free refills.

Many insist fountain drinks taste better than their pre-packaged counterparts.
