Find out how easy it is to make your own Cherry Italian Cream Sodas at home!
There are few things that I look forward to more during the hot summer months than cold, refreshing beverages. I swear I drink about three times as much during the summer as I do during the winter and I’m not talking cocktails people 😉 Italian Cream Sodas are so simple to make and are ALWAYS a crowd-pleaser. During the summer (which apparently started in early May this year), I crave flavors like cherry and lemon and this cherry version of an Italian Cream Soda is one of my very favorites.
I love how a special drink or punch can turn a meal into an occasion. Whether we’re grilling out or making some sandwiches – throw in an Italian Cream Soda and the family feels like it’s a party! The kids love to try out different flavors of syrup and if we’re feeling really festive I might top the sodas with some whipped cream 🙂
This is a very basic recipe for Italian Cream Soda that you can personalize by changing up the Torani syrup flavors. Mix and match to your heart’s content and the sugar-free syrups are just as wonderful. If you’re making these for a party, pick up three or four flavors and let your guests make their own personalized drinks.
- 6 oz club soda
- 2 oz Cherry flavored Torani syrup (or your favorite flavor)
- 1 oz heavy cream or half and half
- ice
- Fill a tall glass two thirds full with ice.
- Pour in flavored syurp.
- Top off with club soda.
- Float the cream on top.
- Stir just before drinking.
- If you are experiencing curdling, try mixing the syrup and cream first and then adding the club soda.

her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I hhad to tell someone!
