Description

Enjoy a creamy and fruity Raspberry Italian Cream Soda that combines the natural sweetness of fresh raspberries with smooth cream and sparkling soda. This refreshing, non-alcoholic drink is perfect for any age and ideal for cooling down on warm afternoons or entertaining guests with a fun and flavorful beverage.


Ingredients

Scale

Raspberry Syrup

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup water

Soda Mix

  • 1 cup chilled club soda
  • Ice cubes as needed

Cream Layer

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or plant-based cream (coconut or oat cream for dairy-free)

Additional Flavoring

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Syrup: Gently simmer the fresh raspberries with sugar syrup and water over medium heat until the mixture thickens slightly. Allow it to cool a bit, then strain thoroughly to remove seeds, leaving a smooth, fragrant syrup.
  2. Mix the Soda Base: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, pour in the raspberry syrup, then slowly add the chilled club soda to keep the bubbles lively and prevent overflow.
  3. Add the Cream: Gently pour a splash of heavy cream or your chosen plant-based cream over the top of the soda mixture to create a creamy float that layers beautifully.
  4. Stir and Serve: Use a straw or spoon to lightly mix the cream into the soda, blending the flavors while retaining the refreshing fizz. Serve immediately for best results.

Notes

  • Use chilled soda and cream to maintain carbonation and texture.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of raspberry syrup.
  • Strain syrup carefully to ensure a smooth, seed-free drink.
  • Pour soda slowly to keep bubbles intact.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy, fizzy experience.
