Szódás

Szódás is a Hungarian term that literally translates to "soda water." It commonly refers to a plain, carbonated water beverage, often served in restaurants and bars. It is a simple, refreshing drink with no added sugars or flavorings. In some contexts, "szódás" can also be used to refer to a soda siphon, a device used to carbonate water at home, or a drink made with soda water, such as a spritzer. These spritzers typically involve mixing soda water with a small amount of wine or fruit juice. The popularity of szódás as a beverage stems from its perceived health benefits, such as aiding digestion, and its role as a zero-calorie alternative to sugary drinks. It is a staple in Hungarian cuisine and beverage culture.
