Blueberry Italian Cream Soda drinks are festive and fruity. You'll love these smooth Blueberry Italian Cream Soda drinks!

And if you’re looking for a sweet treat, these Chocolate Almond Blueberry Bites are perfect to toss in a bag and enjoy on the run.

Blueberry Italian Cream Soda drinks are such a fun treat! Blueberry Italian Cream Soda drinks are the perfect indulgence as the weather heats up.

Blueberries are a favorite of mine, and they’re definitely a delight in Italian cream sodas. As we transition from one season to the next, don’t forget to take advantage of what’s on hand, like oranges. I’ve been making a lot of these Fresh Orange Juice & Ginger Smoothies. They’re a great morning option!

Blueberry Italian Cream Soda drinks are so good to serve as the weather heats up! Blueberry Italian Cream Soda drinks are so pretty and tasty, too!

These drinks look like dessert in a glass with their deep blue hue and crown of fluffy whipped topping. What could be better than a beautiful, fresh, and easy-to-make drink that will impress at any gathering?

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 ounces blueberries
  • Zest of 1/2 small lemon
  • 8 ounces half and half (about 2 ounces per drink)
  • 24 ounces plain club soda (about 6 ounces per drink)
  • Whipped topping for garnish

Instructions

  1. Add the sugar and water to a sauce pan over high heat. Stir to help dissolve the sugar, and bring the mixture to a boil.
  2. Add the blueberries and lemon zest. Stir. Reduce the heat to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. The blueberries should burst as the mixture simmers.
  3. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool. When cool, strain to separate the liquid from the blueberries (don’t smash the blueberries as you strain the mixture). Save the blueberry remains for a smoothie or toss in some yogurt.
  4. Fill a 12-ounce glass about halfway with ice cubes. Add 2 ounces of the blueberry syrup to the glass.
  5. Add 6 ounces of club soda to the glass, then about 2 ounces of half and half.
  6. Garnish with whipped topping and serve with a straw.
  7. Stir and enjoy.

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
