Fruit Soda is a carbonated beverage flavored with fruit extracts, providing a sweet, fizzy component to drinks. In the context of alcohol and cocktails, fruit soda can be used to add both flavor and effervescence. It is a popular mixer for creating light, refreshing cocktails, particularly those served in highball glasses. Fruit soda pairs well with spirits like vodka, rum, and gin, and is often used in cocktails like the Vodka Collins, Rum Punch, and various spritzers. The wide range of available fruit flavors allows for creative experimentation in cocktail recipes, making it a versatile ingredient for both classic and innovative drinks.
