Italian Cream Soda

Aaaah, Summer is finally stopping by and I'm feeling so warm and fuzzy inside that I felt that I should have a drink that was as equally yummy.

Recipe

Pour 2 ounces of Torani Italian syrup flavor (I use orange but they come in all varieties such as cherry, raspberry, vanilla etc.) into a pitcher.

Add 2 ounces of half and half cream and
8 ounces of club soda (you can use sparkling water if you prefer)

Mix ingredients together and pour into a glass that is half filled with ice.

Garnish with an orange wedge (and a cherry if you love them like I do and find any excuse to use them).

If you really want to get fancy you can also add a scoop of whipped cream on top!

  • Enjoy!!
