Raspberry Cream Soda

This Raspberry Cream Soda is one of our favorite creamy drinks to enjoy. It’s rare to find a drink that all of us, me, my husband, and my little kid love. But this one is special because of its sweet and creamy flavors.

I love making this Raspberry Cream Soda every weekend, and most of the time, it’s my go-to drink. The raspberry flavors mix wonderfully with the soda, and the cream on top makes it perfect as a delicious dessert. It’s also easy to make at home, so don’t worry, it’s not hard at all.

You can use fresh raspberries or raspberry syrup; to be honest, I’ve used both, and the taste is almost the same every time. Pink lemonade and soda can be customized to your liking, and of course, the soft heavy cream on top gives it that final beautiful, delicious touch.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (or raspberry syrup)
• 1/2 cup pink lemonade
• 1/4 cup club soda
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Great Tips!

What to Pair with Raspberry Cream Soda?

Raspberry Cream Soda is a kind of sweet and fizzy treat, So make sure to pair it with a dessert that lacks sugar, For me I always love to pair it with Chocolate Clusters with Coconut or sometimes a Vanilla Bean Macaron for a special touch. You can also pair it with light pastries like buttery croissants or scones. For the kids try to save the drink for them with Fresh fruit like strawberries or pineapple slices to complement the fruity flavors perfectly. Also, a slice of cheesecake or a brownie goes great with the creamy layers of this drink.
