Seagram's Sparkling Seltzer Water, for example, is carbonated water with potassium chloride and has 35 milligrams of sodium. Polar Seltzer contains carbonated water and natural flavors. Sparkling water—like bubly and Spindrift the only sparkling water flavored with real fruit juice —is essentially identical to seltzer: it's carbonated water with added flavoring.

You cannot substitute tonic water with the others as easily, as it has a distinct, signature taste that is vastly different to the rest. Regardless of the bubbles you prefer, make sure you know what you're drinking because these are not all interchangeable.
The effervescence comes from naturally-occurring salts and sulfur compounds. Mineral waters—popular brands include Perrier and San Pellegrino—sell at a higher price than both seltzer or club soda and, as a result, typically aren't used in mixed drinks.
To take your mineral water game to the next level, add a squeeze of lemon or lime and a dash of flavored cocktail bitters. In looks and taste, club soda is very similar to both seltzer and mineral water.
