Fizz

Soft drinks have been around for centuries, with early recipes dating back to the 16th century. Fizz drinks, or carbonated beverages, became popular in the 18th century as a way to add effervescence to otherwise plain drinks.

Early fizz recipes were often quite simple, containing only water, sugar, and a small amount of flavoring. The first recorded recipe for a fizzy drink was published in 1769, and called for just these ingredients. As fizz drinks became more popular, more elaborate recipes were developed, adding fruit juices, syrups, and even eggs to the mix.

Fizz drinks reached the height of their popularity in the 19th century, when soda fountains began popping up all over the United States. Soda jerk culture was born, and people flocked to these fizzy beverage hotspots to enjoy the refreshing, sweet drinks.
