Grape soda

Sparkling grape juice is a refreshing beverage made from natural grape juice, to which carbon dioxide is added to provide effervescence and a bubbly touch. This ingredient combines the sweet, fruity flavor of grape juice with the lightness of gas, making it an excellent option for adding freshness and a subtle acidic touch to various culinary preparations, from cocktails to desserts and sauces.

Origin: The grape, the base of this beverage, is a fruit native to the Mediterranean region, cultivated for thousands of years, especially in countries like Spain, Italy, and France. Sparkling juice arises from the modern blend of grape juice and carbonated drinks, popularized as a natural, non-alcoholic alternative to traditional soft drinks.

Properties: Grape juice is rich in antioxidants, such as polyphenols and resveratrol, which help protect cells and improve cardiovascular health. It also contains vitamins like C and minerals such as potassium. Being carbonated, it provides a refreshing and light sensation without adding alcohol, making it ideal for recipes that require a bubbly and fruity touch.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: depending on the country, sparkling grape juice may be found under names such as gaseosa de uva, refresco de uva espumoso, or simply soda de uva.
