Why Club Soda Can’t Be Your Drink of Choice—Belgian Sparkling Water Wins In a world where fizzy drinks dominate shelves, club soda has long been a staple in kitchens and bars alike. But when it comes to clean taste, subtle refreshment, and true sparkle, Belgian sparkling water is quietly claiming the crown as the superior golden choice. ### The Limitations of Club Soda Club soda—light in sweetness but often light in character—shares a similar carbonated structure with soda water but carries the added influence of mineral additives, flavorings, and sometimes preservatives. While its effervescence is pleasant, many drinkers find its taste too neutral or subtly metallic, especially after an extended sip. Its mass-market focus and widespread use have made it convenient, but rarely exceptional.
