italian cream soda

as mentioned before, eric and i have a favorite restaurant...nonna's. it is an italian restaurant in springfield and we have been there a few times. each time that we have been there eric has gotten an italian cream soda. yum....

since we were absolutely in love with the taste of italian cream soda we asked our waiter how to make them....and the result....pure bliss.

first...buy flavoring...any flavor will do. coconut is really good as well as french vanilla, raspberry and strawberry...those are the only flavors that we've have tried so far, but there are lots of different flavors you can buy.

secondly... pour about 1/4 cup of the flavoring into a glass (the amount, of course, depends on the size of your glass)...our's uses about 1/4 cup. next...fill up the glass almost completely with ice cubes. pour the glass almost completely to the top with club soda. (be sure the club soda is really fizzy).

the last thing to do to finish up this delicious treat is pour, maybe 1 tsp, of half/half to top off the glass.

if the italian cream soda is for a party buy some nice umbrella toothpicks and put them into the drink..this is an amazing treat...you will love them!
