to 4 oz chilled club soda
What it is
Club soda is a carbonated beverage that contains dissolved minerals, giving it a slightly salty taste. It is commonly used as a mixer in cocktails, providing effervescence without adding significant flavor. This makes it an ideal choice for refreshing drinks, allowing the primary spirits and flavors to shine through while adding a bubbly texture.

How it is made
Club soda is made by carbonating water and adding minerals such as sodium bicarbonate, potassium sulfate, or sodium chloride. These minerals contribute to its unique taste and enhance the mouthfeel of the drink.
History
The origins of club soda date back to the late 18th century when Joseph Priestley discovered a method to infuse water with carbon dioxide. It became popular in the 19th century as a refreshing beverage and mixer for cocktails.
In cocktails
Bartenders use club soda to add fizz to cocktails like the Tom Collins or as a refreshing mixer for spirits. It can also be served on its own over ice with a slice of lemon or lime for a simple, refreshing drink.
Worth knowing
Club soda is often confused with tonic water, but the two are distinct; tonic water contains added sugars and quinine, giving it a bitter flavor.
