Italian Soda Bar

We are on a little bit of party overload at our house but I couldn’t wait to share some of the fun photos from our Sail Away Graduation Party Saturday night.  But first I have to say a great big thank you to my dear friend Marsha who showed up at my door about an hour before the party started and just stepped right in and helped out.  She saved the day and thanks to her everything was ready to go when the kids got here!!

The party was a smashing success.  I love having a backyard full of happy teenagers enjoying themselves!!  I think one of the biggest hits of the night was the Italian Soda Bar so that’s what I’m going to share first.  It was so fun!!!

It is easy to put together too.

I went to Cash & Carry and picked up a variety of flavored syrups.  We had strawberry (the one that disappeared first), raspberry, pomegrante, orange, cherry lime, guava, mango, and watermelon.  My favorite flavor combo was guava and mango.

You will also need mineral water.  I got mine at Trader Joe’s.    You will also needs lots of ice and whip cream (I just got the kind in the can).

And of course some straws.

The directions are easy:  Just fill your cup with ice, some syrup, mineral water and then top it off with whip cream and a straw.

It was fun to see what flavor combinations they came up with.

Here’s the cute graduation girl.

    I found your italian soda post on pinterest. You have one of my favorite recipe blogs so I wasn’t surprised. 🙂 I’d love to know what your favorite things are from Cash & Carry. My husband recently went there for the first time…we like their au jus mix for French dip. Looks like we will be headed there for torani syrup because the price is so much better than at World Market. Thanks for that tip!

      Thanks so much Janelle! I buy all my syrups there but also a lot of paper products. I love their chinese take out boxes and other size take out boxes. They are perfect for sharing treats with others. I also buy spices there. My latest find was Knorrs Professional Liquid Concentrate Chicken Flavor Base. I used it in all recipes that call for chicken broth. So good!

      I bought them from a store called Gygi’s in Salt Lake City but there are several etsy shops that sell them also. Just search for striped paper straws on etsy.com
