My love of dazzling 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 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 was the Italian Soda! And once you try it for yourself… you’ll know why!

Now there’s no need to pay an arm and a leg at a coffee stand or at an Italian restaurant. And you can go ahead and skip that Whole Foods Italian Soda, too!

Thanks to this easy Italian Soda recipe, you can effortlessly become your own barista… and create some Italian soda magic right in your own kitchen!

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, you’ll need to use a carbonated water, like Club Soda.

If you’re making just a few, opt for a 1 liter bottle, or if you’re serving a crowd, I’d suggest a 2 liter bottle.

  • Flavored Syrup (I used Strawberry Torani Syrup in this recipe to make a Strawberry Italian Soda)
  • Ice Cubes

Note: For best flavor, I’ve found that the best Italian soda syrup is Torani Syrups.

    Can I make the Italian soda in bulk for a church supper?

  2. Alina says:

    Can you use Sprite if you don’t have Canada Dry?

    1. Heidi says:

      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!

  3. Brenda says:

    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.
