My love of Italian sodas actually goes way back. Back to when I was dating my super hot boyfriend (now hubby).
You see, we used to work together at this little Coffee Drinks bar at church. Between services, we had a blast concocting all sorts of Lattes, mochas and yummy drinks creating nothing short of coffee heaven! Talk about FUN!
It also didn’t hurt that I was working alongside my super-cute boyfriend! Any excuse to spend a little more time side by side, right? 🙂
As it turned out, one of the most requested drinks were the Italian sodas with cream! And once you try one for yourself… you’ll know why!

Just 3 ingredients and you’re done!
And if you’re planning a party, you can even make an Italian soda bar with different flavors for your guests to make!
Party anyone?
Trust me, you won’t believe how easy this is going to be…
What is the Best Water for Italian Soda?
When it comes to making the very best Italian sodas recipes, you’ll need to use a carbonated water, like Club Soda.
If you’re making just a few Italian sodas, opt for a 1 liter bottle, or if you’re serving a crowd, I’d suggest a 2 liter bottle.
Ingredients
So what is Italian Soda made of? For these spectacular strawberry Italian sodas with cream you’ll use the following…
- Club Soda – The neutral flavored, carbonated base for this Italian soda recipe.
- Half and Half – The same ultra rich and decadent ingredient I use to create my homemade Coffee Creamer Recipe.
- Flavored Syrup – I used Strawberry Torani Syrup in this recipe to make an Italian strawberry soda.
- Ice Cubes – To ensure your Italian sodas are perfectly chilled.
Note: For best flavor, I’ve found that the best Italian soda syrups are Torani Syrups.
How to Make Italian Cream Sodas
So how do you make an Italian soda? Well, I’m glad you asked.

This is my new favorite summer recipe! The strawberry is our favorite, but we’ve been trying new flavors with homemade syrups and they all turn out so good! Thank you!
I love your idea to make this using a homemade syrup. That is such a smart way to change up the flavors and save some money, too!
This easy homemade Italian soda recipe is exactly what I was looking for! I love that it only takes 3 simple ingredients—club soda, half and half, and strawberry syrup—to make a cafe-quality drink right at home. The tip about using Torani syrups for the best flavor is so helpful. I can’t wait to make this refreshing strawberry Italian soda to cool down this summer!
It really is a wildly delicious way to get refreshed. I absolutely love making these all year round!
Can I make the Italian soda in bulk for a church supper?
Hi Joyce ~ this really works best when made individually. For bulk drinks, check out this list of easy punch recipes… hope this helps!

Can you use Sprite if you don’t have Canada Dry?
Hi Alina ~ for a traditional Italian Soda flavor you’ll definitely want to stick with the Club soda. For just a sweet Strawberry drink though, you could definitely have fun experimenting with Sprite. 🙂 Hope that helps!
Thanks for the Italian soda recipe. I’ve had it before at a restaurant and loved it! I pinned it to the recipes I want to try.
You’re very welcome, Brenda! Aren’t they so delicious? ENJOY!! 🙂
