In cocktails, club soda adds effervescence and dilutes spirits without altering their taste. For baking, it can be used to lighten batters, especially for pancakes or tempura, by introducing air and creating a crispier texture. When making marinades, the carbonation can help tenderize meats. It can also be used to create a fizzy base for mocktails or to simply enjoy as a refreshing drink on its own. The bubbles provide a pleasant sensation and can make dishes feel lighter.
How it differs from similar foods
It is also distinct from tonic water, which is sweetened and flavored with quinine.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
To maintain its fizziness, store unopened club soda in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate any leftovers and consume within a day or two for the best carbonation. Tightly sealing the container can help preserve the bubbles.
