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!!

Just found your blog when I googled “Italian Soda” and LOVE the idea of an Italian Soda Bar. We are BIG on parties at our house … already have a serious coffee bar (filled with flavored sodas) … and even have a stock of Italian Soda Glasses from my days as at waitress at the Old Spaghetti Factory. So, looks like I am set for a new “bar” at our next party.
Can’t wait to read more of your blog. 🙂

This is a great idea! Never heard of it, but looks fun! I am one that loves to be in the kitchen and try new things. I am having my Bridal Shower in a couple of months and our theme is Italian and I am sure the girls will love the Idea! Thanks and God Bless!

The Italian Soda bar would be perfect for your Italian theme. A friend just had her son’s wedding reception this last weekend and she set one up and it was the hit of the reception!

Just curious…do you have to use mineral water? Or can I just use regular filtered water?
Leigh Anne says
You want a little fizz in your water so mineral water or soda water works best I think. I know people have even used 7 up. But if you don’t like fizz I am sure regular filtered water would be fine too.

Where did you find the adorable straws? Love them!
