Soda gets its fizz from carbonation, which is carbon dioxide gas added under pressure. When you open the bottle or can, the bubbles escape and give soda its signature sparkle.

Root beer is the classic choice, but cola, orange soda, cream soda, and grape soda all work well too. Add vanilla ice cream and suddenly your drink has main character energy.

Cold temperatures help keep carbonation in the drink longer, so the soda feels crisper and bubblier. Warm soda loses fizz faster and usually tastes flatter.

Yes. Soda can be used in cakes, marinades, punches, mocktails, and floats. It adds sweetness, flavor, and bubbles, which is honestly a pretty strong resume for a drink.
