Soda Water

Soda water, or sparkling water, is carbonated water that adds effervescence and a clean, neutral base to cocktails. It's often used to lighten up drinks, providing a refreshing, bubbly texture without altering the flavor profile of the other ingredients. Soda water is essential in highballs like the Gin & Tonic or the Tom Collins, where its crispness complements the spirit. Its versatility makes it a great mixer for both simple, refreshing drinks and more complex cocktails needing a touch of fizz.
