So gang, what's the consensus on this? Is seltzer water from a syphon better tasting than club soda? I bring this up because I just watched an old episode of Good Eats on bar drinks and Alton Brown (my hero) said seltzer was better tasting than club soda. If he said it, maybe it really is. I did happen to notice that he got a lot more fizz in his glass than I do when I pour in club soda. Club Soda has additives such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate and/or sodium citrate, so it has a different flavor then seltzer, which is just carbonated water. The carbonation in the seltzer I have delivered form larger bubbles and seem to last longer then club soda.
