Club Soda

Club soda is clear, carbonated water with added mineral salts. It tastes clean with a faint mineral snap and lively fizz; bubbles add lift and a crisp finish. Commonly used to build highballs, lengthen spirits and syrups, and gently aerate batters like tempura or pancakes; sold in cans and bottles.\n\nCommercial carbonation developed in 18th-century Europe and spread globally with soda fountains and cocktail culture; club soda became a standard mixer in American highballs and spritzers. Modern production injects carbon dioxide into purified water and blends sodium and potassium salts to mimic mineral waters.
