Italian Cream Soda
Discover how to make Italian Cream Soda at home with simple ingredients, rich flavors, and easy steps for a fizzy summer treat everyone will love.
Ingredients
- 1 chilled tall glass
- 2 Tbsp flavored syrup e.g. vanilla syrup, raspberry syrup, strawberry syrup, or your favorite Torani brand
- 8 oz club soda or sparkling water
- 2 Tbsp heavy cream or half and half optional, for extra creaminess
- A dollop of whipped cream for topping
- 1 maraschino cherry for garnish
- Clear ice cubes optional, for presentation
Instructions
Chill everything
- Place your tall glass and bottle of club soda in the fridge (or freezer for 10 minutes) so they’re ice-cold.
Add the syrup
- Pour 2 Tbsp of your chosen flavored syrup into the bottom of the chilled glass.
Build the soda
- Slowly pour in 8 oz of club soda (or sparkling water) down the side of the glass to preserve fizz.
Mix gently
- Use a long spoon or straw to stir just enough to combine syrup and club soda, keeping plenty of bubbles.
Swirl in the cream (optional)
- Pour 2 Tbsp heavy cream or half and half over the back of a spoon so it floats on top, creating a creamy layer.
Top with whipped cream
- Add a dollop of whipped cream for that classic italian cream soda finish.
Garnish and serve
- Drop in a maraschino cherry, add clear ice if desired, and enjoy your homemade italian cream sodas!
Tip
- For endless possibilities, swap in different flavored syrup or try sugar-free options from your favorite syrup company.
