- 3 tablespoons flavored syrup (raspberry, vanilla, or any flavor of your choice)
- 1/4 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
- Ice cubes
Optional Garnish
- Whipped cream
- Maraschino cherry
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to chill the drink and keep it refreshingly cold.
- Add syrup: Pour 3 tablespoons of your chosen flavored syrup over the ice, ensuring even distribution for optimal flavor.
- Pour club soda: Slowly add 1 cup of club soda to the glass, gently stirring to combine the syrup and soda without losing the carbonation.

- Garnish (optional): Top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry to add an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal to your Italian soda.

- For a dairy-free version, substitute half-and-half with coconut cream or almond milk.
- Add more or less syrup depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- Use chilled club soda to keep the soda cold longer without diluting the flavors.
- Serve immediately for best carbonation and taste.
