Mysterious bubbles in a glass?

I was drinking my bacardi + lemonade and noticed some bubbles appearing from the bottom of my glass. Now i have seen this before but never really took notice until i realised that this drink was flat deu to the bacardi in the lemonade.

At the bottom of the glass, there was a very slim line of fine bubbles rushing to the top of my glass. It looked as if they were coming from no where.

How and why does this happen?

I have a small suspition that it may be due to very small cracks in the glass but do not believe this amount of air could be filling this tiny hole.

Thanks

    According to chemistry, Their are two liquids of different temperate. When they are pressurized more than what they can handle, the state of the 2 liquids might combine. But when you open the bottle, The atmospheric pressure establishes equilibrium in such a high speed, thus the liquids boils and goes back to its original state.

    NOTE: Boiling doesnt have to be caused by heating. It could also be caused by cooling.
