Description

Refreshing Raspberry Italian Cream Soda is a bubbly and creamy summer beverage that combines the natural sweetness of ripe raspberries, the warmth of vanilla, and the fizzy texture of sparkling water topped with smooth cream. Perfect for warm days and parties, this non-alcoholic drink is easy to make and customizable to suit your taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Raspberry Syrup

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar (for simple syrup)
  • 1/4 cup water (for syrup)

Beverage

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sparkling water, chilled
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut cream, chilled
  • Ice cubes

Garnish (optional)

  • Fresh raspberries
  • Mint leaves
  • Twist of lemon peel

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Syrup: Simmer the fresh or frozen raspberries with sugar and a splash of water over medium heat until the fruit breaks down and the mixture thickens into a syrup. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and ensure a smooth syrup.
  2. Chill Your Ingredients: Place the sparkling water and cream in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly. Cold ingredients help maintain the soda’s fizz and creamy texture longer.
  3. Combine Syrup and Sparkling Water: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the desired amount of raspberry syrup over the ice, then slowly add sparkling water. Stir gently to mix without losing the bubbles.
  4. Add the Cream: Slowly pour heavy cream or coconut cream over the soda, allowing it to create creamy swirls on top of the drink.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh raspberries, mint leaves, or a twist of lemon peel as desired. Serve immediately with a festive straw and enjoy your refreshing Raspberry Italian Cream Soda.

Notes

  • Use cold ingredients to preserve carbonation and enhance flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of syrup gradually to find your preferred sweetness level.
  • Strain raspberry syrup thoroughly to avoid seeds and gritty texture.
  • Pour the cream slowly to create beautiful swirl effects without overwhelming the soda.
  • Serve immediately for the best fizz and flavor experience.
