Ingredients

1 cup flavored syrup (choose your favorite: raspberry, peach, or vanilla)

1 cup sparkling water or club soda

1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half (optional for a creamy version)

Ice cubes

Fresh fruit slices (lemon, lime, or berries) for garnish

Whipped cream (optional for topping)

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare Your Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to chill the soda.

Add the Syrup: Pour your chosen flavored syrup over the ice, filling the glass about one-third full.

Mix in the Sparkling Water: Slowly pour the sparkling water or club soda into the glass, allowing it to mix gently with the syrup. Adjust the amount based on your taste preference; more syrup for sweetness, more soda for fizziness.

(Optional) Creamy Twist: If you want a creamy Italian soda, slowly add half-and-half or heavy cream on top and stir gently until combined.

Garnish: Top your soda with whipped cream if desired, and add fresh fruit slices and mint leaves for a colorful garnish.

Serve & Enjoy: Enjoy your homemade Italian soda with a straw, and savor the refreshing flavors!
