seltzer

word

Definition

A type of water that is carbonated, meaning it has bubbles in it because it contains dissolved carbon dioxide. It is often served as a refreshing drink, sometimes flavored.

Usage & Nuances

Seltzer is similar to 'sparkling water' or 'club soda', but usually contains only carbonated water and no added minerals. In North America, 'seltzer' is the common term. It can be plain or flavored; not the same as tonic water.
