CO2 has gas state at a very low temperature compared to standard environmental conditions. For this reason it takes either increased pressure, closed system, and/or decreased temperature to keep it mixed in a solute. (Dr. Pepper).

Basically the moment you open your drink it begins evaporation regardless of temperature because the pressure drops and the system is opened.
