Soda water

Soda water, also known as carbonated water or sparkling water, is a type of water that has been infused with carbon dioxide gas under pressure. This process, known as carbonation, gives the water a fizzy or bubbly texture.

Pronunciation

Soda water: /ˈsoʊdə ˈwɔːtər/

Etymology

The term "soda water" originated in the mid-18th century and is derived from the presence of sodium salts or "soda" in the water. The term "carbonated water" is derived from the process of carbonation, where carbon dioxide is dissolved in the water.
