If you don’t have simple syrup on hand, you can easily make it at home. Combine equal parts of water and granulated sugar in a saucepan.

3. Adding the Club Soda

Slowly pour in the chilled club soda. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients without losing too much carbonation. Taste your cream soda and adjust the sweetness by adding more simple syrup if needed.

4. Serving the Cream Soda

Serve your homemade cream soda immediately over ice for a refreshing and bubbly drink. You can also garnish with a vanilla bean or a cherry for an extra special touch.

Tips for Success:

  • Chill the Ingredients: Make sure your club soda and simple syrup are well chilled before mixing. This keeps your drink refreshingly cold and fizzy.
  • Adjusting Sweetness: Start with the recommended amount of simple syrup and add more to taste if desired. Everyone’s sweetness preference is different.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Try adding a splash of other extracts, like almond or caramel, for a unique twist on the classic cream soda.

By following these simple steps, you can create a delicious homemade cream soda that is both refreshing and satisfying. With just three ingredients, you’ll have a delightful drink ready in minutes.
