noncarbonated
Lacking dissolved gas
Noncarbonated describes beverages without dissolved carbon dioxide—no fizz, no bubbles.
Water, juice, and most teas are noncarbonated.
I prefer noncarbonated drinks with meals.
The term usually appears on labels or menus to distinguish still beverages from sparkling ones.
