Italian Soda Party Beverage Station
In need of a creative party drink but not sure where to start! Try a simple Italian Soda Beverage Bar!
When I was tasked to come up with a fun beverage idea for an afternoon adult birthday party that could also be kid friendly, I'm not going to lie I was a bit stumped. My usual party drinks involve fun cocktails and bubbly champagne sips, but after a bit of Pinterest browsing, it hit me... let's do an Italian Soda Bar!
Not only is it self-serve, able to sit out throughout the party, and pretty straight forward it's fun because you get to build your own beverage choices with the flavor options!

- Crushed Ice
- Flavored syrups (this was honestly the hardest part to find - I lucked out and found 3 great flavors at Homegoods but if not you may have to order online)
- Sparkling Water
- Heavy Cream
Start by adding the crushed ice to the bottom of your cup, throw in a couple pumps of of the flavored syrup. Once you've made your flavor selection, fill with sparkling water and top with a touch of cream. Not only does this create a fizzy flavorful drink but it tastes delicious too and is a very special treat for any younger guests in attendance!
If you want to give your guests a little extra frothy fun you can also include whip cream to top off their fancy beverage!

We use French syrups and fizzy water a lot at parties. Guests love them. I’ve had the Italian ones too. yum.

I LOVE Italian sodas! What a fun thing and it’s so easy. My local grocery store carries some of the syrup flavors in the drink mixer section but when I’ve needed specific flavors I have ordered mine online too. Nice job finding them at Home Goods!
