Notes

substitutions & variations

  • club soda - swap club soda for seltzer water or sparkling water with little to no effect on flavor.
  • add cream or milk - add milk or cream for an Italian-style soda!
  • ice cream float - add a scoop of ice cream for seasonal ice cream float! Flavors that would work well are vanilla, chocolate, or even coffee ice cream!
  • cocktail - add in an ounce or two of vodka, tequila, or silver rum for an adult beverage.
