The name "SODA" was coined in the early nineteenth century. It is believed that the first carbonated soft drink was made in Philadelphia in 1807. Sodas are some of the most important mixers in a bar. They are often used to top off the fancier mixed drinks. When buying bottled sodas choose the smallest bottles possible,
the carbonation is lost when the seal is first cracked.
Soda water is the foundation for most of the other sodas and is soda in its purest form. It is simply water with carbonation added
and is also called sparkling water. Club soda and soda water are almost identical, and sometimes club soda is just another name for soda.
Tonic is a bitter soda water flavored with quinine that was dates from 1858.
