Sparkling water

Sparkling water is water that has been carbonated, meaning carbon dioxide gas has been dissolved into it under pressure. This process creates bubbles and gives the water a fizzy texture. Sparkling water can be naturally carbonated, sourced from mineral springs, or artificially carbonated through the addition of CO2. It is calorie-free and often enjoyed as a refreshing beverage on its own or as a mixer in cocktails. Some sparkling waters are flavored, and they can be a popular alternative to sugary sodas, providing a similar sensation without the added calories and sugar.
