  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Flavored Syrups

  • 4 tbsp Torani Flavored Syrups (mix flavors as desired, about 3 tbsp total per serving)

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Ice
  • 16 ounces Club Soda or Sparkling Water

Toppings

  • 1 tbsp Cream (Heavy or Whipped)
  • Maraschino Cherries
  • Optional toppings: lime slices, lemon slices, fresh fruit, pineapple

Instructions

  1. Add Syrups: Using a tall clear glass, pour in about 3 tablespoons of your chosen flavored syrups, mixing different flavors if desired for a personalized taste.
  2. Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice to chill the drink and help maintain its refreshing quality.
  3. Pour Club Soda: Slowly fill the glass with 16 ounces of club soda or sparkling water, allowing the bubbles to combine with the syrup and ice.
  4. Add Cream: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of heavy cream or add a mound of whipped cream on top to provide a smooth, creamy finish to your soda.
  5. Garnish: Place a maraschino cherry on top along with optional fresh toppings like lime, lemon, or fruit slices to complement the flavor and enhance presentation.
  6. Mix and Serve: Gently swirl the drink with a straw to combine the cream with the flavored soda before sipping for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount and type of flavored syrup according to your sweetness preference.
  • Use sparkling water if you prefer a less sweet, lighter soda.
  • Heavy cream adds richness, while whipped cream gives a fluffy texture on top.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cream with coconut cream or non-dairy whipped topping.
  • Serve immediately after preparation to maintain fizziness.
