If you’re the type of person that loves to mix flavors at the soda fountain, we think you’ll have a blast whipping up an Italian Soda. Though the drink itself is not Italian, it was invented by two Italian immigrants: Rinaldo and Ezilda Torre, founders of Torani, makers of those ubiquitous flavored syrups you’ve likely seen behind the counter at your local coffee shop. First introduced in San Francisco in 1925, the original recipe required only flavored syrup and soda water. Soon adding cream became popular, which is sometimes referred to as a French soda.
For this recipe, try out your favorite flavors or mix and match. You can even try infusing your own simple syrup instead of using the bottled stuff. For an extra creamy drink reminiscent of an ice cream float, go for 1 ½ ounces of cream or half-and-half.
