Club soda
Club Soda
Club soda (pronounced: klʌb ˈsoʊdə) is a type of carbonated water that is often used as a mixer in alcoholic beverages, particularly in cocktails. It is also commonly consumed on its own as a refreshing, non-alcoholic beverage.
Etymology
The term "club soda" originated in the United States in the late 19th century. It was named after the social clubs where it was often served. The term "soda" refers to the sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) that is used to carbonate the water.
Ingredients
Club soda typically contains carbonated water, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride (table salt), and potassium sulfate. The sodium bicarbonate and potassium sulfate are added to replicate the taste of naturally occurring mineral water.
Uses
Club soda is often used as a mixer in cocktails due to its neutral flavor and effervescence. It can also be used in cooking to make batters light and crispy, or to leaven bread. When consumed on its own, club soda can be a refreshing, calorie-free alternative to sweetened beverages.
