SODA
We call carbonated water “club soda”, because “Club Soda” used to be a brand name. The Club brand of drinks is actually Irish, and is owned by a company now known as C&C. As kids, we grew up on Club Orange and Club Lemon. Club Soda, not so much …
Club soda is a carbonated beverage that is similar to seltzer water but typically contains added minerals, such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, and potassium sulfate. These minerals give club soda a slightly salty or mineral-like taste. Club soda is often used as a mixer in alcoholic beverages, such as cocktails, and is also enjoyed on its own as a refreshing, bubbly drink. It is a popular choice for those looking to add fizziness to drinks without adding any additional flavors. Club soda is different from tonic water, which has a distinct bitter taste due to the addition of quinine and is commonly used in drinks like gin and tonic.
