This vanilla Italian soda recipe uses our signature organic vanilla syrup, cream, and club soda to make a refreshing drink that feels fancy but is easy to make. And with only three ingredients, you don’t have to worry about clearing out your refrigerator to make it.
To make an Italian soda, you need flavored syrup, club soda, or half-and-half (or heavy cream). It’s easiest to make each soda individually in its glass. So here’s what you’ll need to make this refreshing vanilla Italian cream soda recipe;
- highball tumbler (or similar tall glass): This recipe will make about a 12 oz drink, so make sure your cup is large enough.
- Ice: fill the glass about halfway full of ice. The ice will make sure the drink is nice and cold.
- Flavored syrups: This is a recipe for a vanilla Italian cream soda. You get creative with flavors, but we recommend using vanilla as a base flavor regardless of how you choose to mix it up. Perhaps you could be inspired by one of our lip balm flavors!
- Half-and Half: This creates a creamy consistency in the soda. Half-and-half will be a little lighter. You can also use heavy cream if you prefer.
- Club Soda: Used cold club soda to give the Italian soda recipe its fizzy flavor.
How To Make This Vanilla Italian Soda Recipe:
Italian sodas might look fancy, but they are effortless to make. Each glass will only take a couple of minutes to complete. Fill your glass about halfway full of ice. Then, pour in the vanilla syrup, followed by the half-and-half, and then top it off with club soda. Insert a straw and give it a good stir. Then if you’re adding whipped cream and maraschino cherries, do that, and enjoy!
