4 oz. Any flavored syrup (my favorites are Raspberry or Blackberry)
10 oz. Club soda
Ice
Whipped cream (optional)
Pour syrup and half/half over the ice. Slowly add the club soda. Stir and enjoy. Top with whipped cream if desired.
Holly's Note:
Last summer, a girlfriend introduced me to Italian Cream Sodas. My husband and I were painting our living room on a hot August afternoon, when my girlfriend dropped off two Moxie Java Raspberry Italian Cream Sodas for us. Boy did they hit the spot. Unfortunately, there is a Moxie Java around the corner from our home and it was too tempting for me to stop by every day to get a soda. At $3+ each, that adds up.
I went online and found out how to make my own which is significantly easier on my pocketbook. I get my Torani syrup at Cash & Carry, but Walmart, Albertson's and Cost Plus all have them too.
It's also very easy to adjust to personal tastes. I like a bit more syrup and my husband likes a bit more half/half and we don't add whipped cream. The proportions here are a good place to start though and you can adjust your amounts to personal preference.
I haven't made Italian sodas in ages. My children loved them, too. Thanks for the reminder.
