INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Get a tray of ice cubes & a ~15 oz. glass at your workplace.
2. Fill that glass three-fourths with the ice cubes.
3. Next, include ~3 tablespoons of your preferred syrup(sugar-free) over the cubes of ice.
4. Next, add a cup of sparkling water.
5. After that, include the cream(heavy) that flows nicely through the soda.
6. Grab a spoon/stirrer with a long handle to combine everything in the soda.
7. For garnishing, add a dollop of whipped cream with the sprinkles(sugar-free).
8. Your Keto Italian Soda is ready to serve.

TIPS:

• If you want to have that amazing design in the soda, add cream gradually. If you want the blended version, mix everything at the end.
• For the taste to be stronger, use every item in a chilled state.
• It needs to be served immediately, otherwise the drink will lose its fizz.
• Choose the flavored syrup from either Jordan’s Sinny Syrup or Torani Sugar-free to get the premium quality flavors without any hidden carbs.

STORAGE DETAILS:

• It can’t be stored after it’s made, as the soda will lose its characteristic fizz. So it’s better to drink/serve it immediately.
• You can keep all the items separate with sealed sparkling water to quickly assemble & serve/drink whenever you want.

FAQs:

Will diet soda work in place of sparkling water?

• If we want to have strict control over carbs, sparkling water would be best, but you may go for a diet soda of your trusted brand, of which you are aware that they never add carbs or aspartame in their diet sodas.

Which flavors will be suitable for beginners?

• When you make this Italian Soda first time, go for cherry, vanilla, or raspberry flavors to have the feel of a regular soda shop variety.
