Italian Soda

  • Completed Project: Italian Soda Picture #1

Italian Sodas with out the Barista ~

Here is something cool for these Hot July days ~ Cold and creamy ~ sweet and yummy! ~

Now I am not a cook!... and this is getting really close to cooking… I put photos in between the instructions to help you understand my slap dash way of making these.
I made these out of plain NEED one hot summer day…my daughter worked as a Barista and told me the basic ingredients ..... here goes.

All my directions are in proportions so you can make this in any size glass or mug.

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    First assemble these three ingredients:

    ½ and ½ - cream works too but I like ½ and ½!

    Some kind of syrup flavoring – I like this Carmel one and also love the raspberry.

    Club Soda – any kind

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    I put Ice in to fill about 2/3 of the glass.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Then pour in the ½ & ½ to about 1/3 rd of the glass.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Next add a bit of the syrup, I like to glug… glug twice, or about one fat finger measure added to the bottom of the glass.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    So that the total liquid is now approximately at half of the glass.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    Finally I add the club soda to the top of the glass...

  7. Step 7

    Step 7

    and stir it gently.

    Add a topping of whipped cream if you dare….
    Calories are low if you are an athlete.....Otherwise I don't suggest trying to count, just cool off and enjoy!

What you are making is actually a Cremosa. The italian soda does not have cream. The way they do it in most coffee shops is they put the syrup in first, then the ice, then club soda, the you use a spoon and pull the syrup up with out stirring till its mixed, then pour the cream on the top and stir once, its supposed to help keep up the carbonation. Great drink! Raspberry is my fav.

I love Italian sodas (and such), but I've found it hard to find recipes. So I love that you posted this recipe. My favorite Italian soda uses hazlenut syrup.
