    If you are craving a creamy, bubbly, and flavorful drink then you have to try one of these Blueberry Italian Sodas! And, let's be honest, anything with whipped cream on top is bound to be good, am I right???

    What is an Italian Soda?

    According to Wikipedia: "Despite the name, this drink originated in the US, not in Italy. The name is due to it being a form of Italian soda. Italian cream soda is usually made of a mixture of carbonated water, vanilla syrup, and added half and half or cream."

    Despite the name, Italian sodas actually originated in San Francisco by an Italian couple in 1925. Ever since the name and flavor profile has become popular all over.

    How to Make a Blueberry Italian Soda

    First, prepare a tall glass with fresh ice. Pour in the blueberry syrup followed by the heavy cream. Slowly pour in the club soda until the bubbles reach the top of the glass.

    You can serve layered or mix together with a spoon. Top with whipped cream and fresh blueberries. Serve immediately.

    How to Make Blueberry Simple Syrup

    Blueberry Simple Syrup is easy to make and you can use fresh or frozen blueberries. Simply bring blueberries, sugar, and water to a boil. Stir and mash the berries with a masher.

    Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to steep as it cools for at least 1 hour. Strain the solids from the liquid and you have Blueberry Simple Syrup. For the full recipe, check out my post HERE.

    Italian Soda Flavors

    The great thing about Italian sodas is that the flavors are endless, here are a few ideas:

    • Strawberry
    • Raspberry
    • Peach
    • Blackberry
    • Pineapple
    • Mint

    Make this an Italian Cream Soda

    Although the cream in this drink makes it, well...creamy, you can also add an extra flavor boost by adding cream soda to the drink instead of just club soda. Cream soda will add a layer of vanilla flavor as well as a little more sweetness.

      Holy smokes, was this good! I was looking for a special drink without spirits, to serve at one of my BBQ's. The blueberry simple syrup was outstanding and I felt so fancy sipping on this pretty drink!
