Hmm, in the UK the way I've heard and use such terms, a soft-drink is a non-alcoholic bevarage, not necissarily fizzy. Whereas a non-specified carbonated beverage is a fizzy-drink, fizzy-pop, or simply pop.

You can get screw top pumps. They screw onto the bottle and you pump air into the bottle until the bottle is firm.

They work ok but in our house a bottle never stays open for long enough to find out!
