Sparkling water in Spanish is agua con gas and still water agua sin gas; agua efervescente, as the card's last example puts it, is understood but sounds like a label rather than an order at a bar. Effervescent in English is likewise kept for writing and for the pharmacy — an effervescent tablet, effervescent vitamin C.
The figurative sense is where the word earns its keep. An effervescent person is lively and full of energy, and it is a compliment; Spanish reaches for chispeante or burbujeante there, which is exactly what the card's translations do. The noun is effervescence. The verb effervesce exists but is rare enough that fizz is the natural choice: the tablet fizzed in the glass.
agua water
At a bar ask for agua con gas, not agua efervescente.
