soda water - Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

  Soda water \So"da wat`er\, n.
     1. originally, a beverage consisting of a weak solution of
        sodium bicarbonate to which an acid (such as phosphoric
        acid) has been added to generate carbon dioxide and thus
        cause effervescence; the term now is also used as a
        synonym for soda pop. Soda water without flavoring is
        used as a beverage or as a component of a mixed beverage.
        It is typically bottled or canned under pressure so that
        the carbon dioxide and effervescence will be preserved
        until use.
