Day 1 of the Lenten season and I’m kicking it off with an Italian Cream Soda. It’s been years since I’ve had this drink and after seeing one on my friend’s site, I decided it was time to break it out for my family. It was the perfect refresher this past weekend after an afternoon spent at the local park and running some errands. I also made a second batch to store in the refrigerator for a later date.
Italian cream soda is such a classic drink, but you don’t see it at a lot of functions. Maybe we should all push the bridal/baby shower punch and tea aside and make way for this fun drink. You could even do an Italian Cream Soda Bar where everyone gets to choose his or her flavor!
I think I’m on to something here.
I paired it with International Delight for my sugar-free and fat-free french vanilla creamer. Along with the vanilla flavor, I wanted to add some cherry to it so the drink would pop and have some color to it. Like I said you could add any personal flavor to it, but you can never go wrong with cherry syrup.
Now it’s time to break out the ice, syrup, and creamer and get to work on this cherry vanilla Italian cream soda. It’s the perfect drink to kick off your Lenten season.
Pour the syrup into the bottom of the cup. Top it off with ice, club soda and creamer. Stir and then add cherries.

This is so pretty and the perfect late afternoon drink when I need a fun little pick-me-up!
You had me at cherry! Seriously, I love all things cherry ,.. and this sounds delish! So refreshing … it will be perfect for Spring afternoons on the porch!
I’ve been wanting to try a homemade cream soda for some time, but I have yet to do so. I love the vanilla and cherry combination in yours…and need to get on making some pronto!
I love this so much. I am definitely making this for myself and the hubby!
Wow lady, this is so super duper pretty! I love it!
I need a big pitcher of this right now! Looks perfect! 😉
This used to be a favorite from Starbucks when I was too young to appreciate coffee. Love this homemade version
oh my goodness! totally love the idea of adding the creamer to this to make an italian cream soda. So trying it. My husband loves these!
I love cream sodas! I will most certainly have to try this out!
I love trying out new drink recipes! This sounds like it would make for a great poolside drink during the upcoming summer!
That really does sound good–I’m not much of a soda drinker but that probably would hit the spot with me.
I haven’t had an Italian Soda in YEARS!! That has to change as soon as possible!!
Such a pretty drink!! Love cherry and vanilla…and love Italian sodas!
Such a perfect drink for a hot summer night. I’m going to indulge myself Cherry Vanilla Italian Cream Soda baby and a Lana Del Rey song. Brilliant!
Wow that is amazing! Thank you.
