An Italian Soda Bar is the perfect drink option for your next party or gathering.
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 Graduation Party Saturday night. 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.
Lots more graduation party fun to come!!

We had these for the first time at our granddaughter’s wedding reception in Utah in April and everone loved them! One of the flavors was chocolate and it was delicious mixed with a fruit flavor. Instead of whipped cream they poured in cream at the top, and used soda water instead of mineral water. I’m not sure how that would make a difference. Yummy is the word!

We went on an Italian Cream Soda fix a few years back but I think we used just cream. I quickly got a little extra plump around the edges before I realized maybe Italian Cream Soda’s only for special occasions. I think it may be time to make some again. 🙂

Great idea. I’m filing this one away for my next graduate! So glad you had nice weather. I remember all too well stressing about the weather for our outdoor party last year.

I’m so glad you posted how to make Italian sodas today! I have been wanting to make some. Can you estimate about how much flavoring you put in the cup? Thanks for sharing. The party looks beautiful!

Totally depends on how sweet you like it. I usually put a couple tablespoons in. Would also depend on the size of the class you want. You can just experiment to figure out your own special recipe. Have fun!!
