What it is
Club soda is a carbonated beverage that contains dissolved minerals, which give it a slightly salty taste. It is often used as a mixer in cocktails, providing effervescence and a refreshing quality without adding significant flavor. This makes it an essential ingredient in many drinks, balancing stronger flavors and enhancing the overall drinking experience.

How it is made
Club soda is made by carbonating water and adding mineral salts such as sodium bicarbonate, potassium sulfate, or sodium chloride. These minerals contribute to its unique taste and mouthfeel.
History
The origins of club soda can be traced 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, particularly in social clubs, hence the name 'club soda.'
In cocktails
Bartenders use club soda to add fizz to cocktails and to dilute stronger spirits without altering the flavor profile significantly. It is often served in highball glasses and can be used in a variety of drinks, from simple highballs to more complex cocktails.
Worth knowing
Club soda is often confused with tonic water, but the latter contains added sugars and quinine, giving it a distinct flavor.
