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? 🙂

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.

- Half and Half

- Ice Cubes
That’s it… so simple!
Note: For best flavor, I’ve found that the best Italian soda syrup is Torani Syrups.

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.
