Effervescent refers to a beverage that is fizzy or sparkling due to the presence of dissolved gases, typically carbon dioxide. When the gas escapes from the liquid in the form of bubbles, it creates a characteristic fizzing or bubbling sensation. This not only adds a refreshing texture to the drink but also enhances its flavor profile.
Examples of Effervescent Beverages
- Sparkling Water: Also known as carbonated water or soda water.
- Soft Drinks: Such as colas, lemon-lime sodas, and other carbonated beverages.
