We’re huge fans of Italian Cream Sodas at our house and make them often for festive occasions. On a whim I decided to make a blueberry-raspberry combination and everyone went crazy over how amazing they tasted! As a bonus too they’re super festive as the drink naturally separates into red, white and blue colors. It’s perfect for Memorial Day, 4th of July, or anytime you feel like being patriotic!
Red, White & Blue Patriotic Italian Cream Sodas
- Club Soda
- Half & Half
- Red & blue flavored syrups, like Torani*
- Whipped cream & a cherry, for topping
To make one Italian Cream Soda, you’ll need:
- 1/2 cup Club Soda
- 4 TBSP Torani Syrup total (so 2 TBSP Blueberry or Blue Raspberry & 2 TBSP strawberry or raspberry)
- 3 TBSP Half & Half
- 3-4 ice cubes
- whipped cream and a cherry for the top!
Note: these measurements are flexible based on the size of your glasses!
Add ice cubes to pretty glasses. Add in red syrup. Measure out about 1/2 cup Club Soda and pour into each glass. Then add half & half. Finally, add in blue syrup. Top with whipped cream and a cherry.
Serve layered with a straw, so that everyone can stir slightly while drinking.
*Years ago it was difficult to find these syrups, now it seems you can find them everywhere! Most grocery stores only sell a few flavors- vanilla, caramel and sometimes strawberry. They’re found by the coffee section as they’re used to flavor coffee. I prefer to buy them at places like Home Goods, Gordmans, TJ Maxx, At Home, Cost Plus World Market, etc. Let me know where you find them and I’ll add them to the list! For blue you can either buy the Torani Blue Raspberry or Jordan’s Skinny Blueberry Syrup, which is probably my most favorite tasting syrup of all time! LOVE it.
