Ever reached for that fizzy water and wondered if you grabbed club soda or sparkling water? You're not alone! While both offer a refreshing bubbly experience, there's a key difference. Sparkling water is naturally carbonated or artificially infused with carbon dioxide, containing only water and bubbles. Think of brands like Perrier or San Pellegrino.
Club soda, on the other hand, starts as carbonated water but then gets an extra kick! It's artificially carbonated and infused with minerals like potassium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate. These additives give it a slightly salty or mineral taste.
So, which should you choose? If you prefer a pure, unadulterated bubbly experience, go for sparkling water. If you want a bit more flavor and are using it as a mixer for cocktails, club soda might be your best bet! Cheers to understanding your bubbles!
