Carbonation
Club soda's fizz come from pressurized carbon dioxide dissolved in the water. When you open the container and release the pressure, the carbon dioxide comes out of solution, making bubbles that pop on your tongue. Different brands use different levels of pressure for different effects: High-pressure carbonation makes aggressive bubbles good for lightening intense flavors and thick syrups or juices, while lower pressure makes gentle bubbles with a more velvety texture, good for drinking solo.
Minerals
Whether from the tap, a river, or a natural spring, every water has a different set of minerals dissolved in it, and these affect its flavor. Some club sodas add specific minerals for specific notes, while others use water direct from the source. Two common minerals added to club sodas are sodium chloride (AKA table salt), which adds a subtle saltiness, and sodium bicarbonate (AKA baking soda), which is both salty and bitter. The total amount of minerals dissolved in the water also affects it...
Package Size & Type
Club soda won't stay carbonated forever. At best, you have a few hours of bubbles from when you open the container if you don't re-seal it. Cans are the most common container for club soda, but you have to use up the whole thing once you crack one open. The 12-ounce size is pretty standard, which is great for drinking for hydration, but it's too much for a single cocktail and not quite enough for two. Many brands intended for drinks have smaller cans (or similarly un-resealable glass bottles)...
What's the difference between club soda and seltzer?
Legally, there isn't one. They're both names for carbonated water, as is "soda water." The exact same product could use any of the three terms. Two words you might see on water packaging that do have legal meaning are "mineral" and "sparkling." Mineral water must come from a natural well or spring, and has to contain at least 250 parts per million of dissolved minerals. It can be carbonated or still. Sparklingwater must be naturally carbonated—in other words, it comes out of the spring alread...
Is club soda the same thing as tonic water?
Definitely not. Tonic wateris more like soda pop, a sweetened and flavored carbonated beverage. It was originally created as a way to make quinine—a malaria preventative that's extremely bitter—more palatable, but modern versions of the drink might or might not actually include quinine. Many mixer brands make both tonic water and club soda, but you cannot substitute one for the other.
Does club soda have calories?
No. Club soda contains only water and carbon dioxide neither of which provides any calories. Depending on the water source, club soda can contain minerals like sodium, magnesium, and calcium that are important in your diet, but the levels are generally not high enough to have a significant effect on nutrition.
