Lets talk soda water & sparkling water

[ambuletz]

In the past month I've probably drank more of this stuff than I have in my whole life, I'm really liking it.
I like to pair it with either;
- some sort of cordial/squash
- or as a highball with whisky and ice.


I'm sure people could easily just say 'just try them all and see' but what soda water or sparkling water do people like here? I'm not after spending company director money on this stuff. So far the asda soda water has been nice, as has the volvic sparkling water. My experiences seem to vary, some are heavily carbonated, some less so. I can't tell which I prefer yet, only time will tell.

If anyone uses the stuff for anything beyond what i normally use it, feel free to let me know and I'll give it a try. (ive heard some people use sparkling water in pizza dough making).


Do you prefer soda water or sparkling mineral water?
Can you tell the difference?
which do you like? why?
which dont you like, why?

I thought soda water has sodium bicarbonate in it as well? Or maybe I’ve fallen for the marketing bullst?!

I prefer the mouthfeel of San Pellegrino.

Wrong. Soda water is water with added CO2 and a salt usually bicarbonate. Sparkling water doesn’t have the salt.

Sparkling water should not be confused with sparkling mineral water which is a natural product.

Badoit for me, but getting hard to find.

AIUI it is being withdrawn from the UK market.

Yeah - something to do with it not being sustainable to get anymore popular as it will run out!

Spa with the red label, especially when drunk in a bar near Spa-francorchamps, preferably after having just won a trophy or two
