Easy Homemade Italian Soda
Light and bursting with flavor, these Italian sodas are a wonderful warm weather refreshment. They’re perfect for an afternoon treat and a great drink option for group hangs or parties because they can be tailored to each person’s individual preferences. Naturally alcohol-free, these drinks can be enjoyed by teetotalers and kids alike (and if you want to spike them with alcohol, go right ahead).

Ingredients

Instructions
- Step 1
Add crushed ice to a 16 ounce glass, enough to fill it about 2/3 of the way.
- Step 2
Fill the glass most of the way with carbonated water, leaving about an inch at the top (enough space for the flavored syrups or cream, if using).
- Step 3
Add your desired amount of flavored syrup. More syrup will make the drink sweeter, and less will keep it mildly flavored.
- Step 4
Add an optional splash of cream or half and half, if desired. This will turn the drink into an Italian cream soda, also called a “French soda.”
- Step 5
Mix the drink up a little to blend all of the flavors together.
