HOW TO MAKE A RASPBERRY ITALIAN SODA, STEP BY STEP:
- Place ¼ cup of the heavy cream into a medium-sized bowl then add the powdered sugar and vanilla,
- Whip until soft peaks form, set aside.
- Gather two large drinking glasses. Place two tablespoons of the syrup into the bottom of each glass. Fill the glasses ¾ of the way up with ice.
- Pour the club soda into the glasses, leaving ½ inch from the rim, do not fill it all the way. Slightly stir the syrup into the club soda, but not too much, we are looking for a layered effect.

See how easy these are?! They are super simple to make, it is essentially just whipping up some whipped cream and then layering and slightly stirring to combine the flavors.
WHAT IS AN ITALIAN SODA?

You can also mix the flavors together to get a different variation of flavors. If you can find any flavor of syrup you can use that for this Italian Soda Recipe.
HOW TO STORE:
I do not recommend storing these after making, they will lose their flavor and everything will mix together and the whipped cream will disappear.
These are best served and made when they are about to be drank.
