seltzer water

Carbonated plain water

Seltzer water is plain water that has been carbonated—infused with carbon dioxide to make it fizzy.

Unlike club soda, it contains no added minerals or salts.

The term comes from the German town of Selters, known for its naturally effervescent springs.

I'll have a vodka and seltzer water.
