Enjoy A Soda Again, Italian Style!
Not interested in the fuss? Want a simpler drink? Make an Italian Soda using a low sodium mineral water (i.e. San Pellegrino) & a fruit syrup! You’ll might be surprised to learn that there are dozens of flavors available at specialty markets and on-line. Obviously, you’ll need to avoid sugar free syrups and strong citrus flavors like lemon, lime and orange.
Try these flavors!
- raspberry (& blue raspberry)
- watermelon
- blackberry
- huckleberry
- black cherry
- coconut
- guava
- blueberry
- mango
- passion fruit
- peach
Italian sodas should have a pale blush of color, roughly 1/2 a shot of flavoring per large glass of water. If it’s dark, you’ve used too much flavoring and are getting an overdose of sugar and the acid used to pH balance the syrup! They are lighter and much more refreshing than a typical soft drink!
Enjoy!
