Ingredients (Serves 1)
- 2 tablespoons Syruvia Pomegranate Syrup
- ¾ cup sparkling water or club soda (chilled)
- ¼ cup half-and-half or your preferred milk/cream (optional, for a creamier version)
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Fresh pomegranate arils or mint (optional, for garnish)
How to Make It
Start by choosing a tall glass and filling it halfway with ice cubes. The ice not only keeps your drink cold but also helps maintain the beautiful layered look that Italian sodas are known for.
Pour in 2 tablespoons of Syruvia Pomegranate Syrup. The syrup forms the base of your pomegranate Italian soda, bringing in that bold, sweet flavor and vibrant hue.
Next, slowly pour in the chilled sparkling water. Go gently to preserve the fizz and help the syrup stay near the bottom for that signature gradient effect.
If you want a classic creamy finish, slowly add your milk or half-and-half over the back of a spoon so it gently floats above the syrup and soda mixture. This creates a beautiful layer and adds richness to the drink.
Top with whipped cream if desired, and finish with a few fresh pomegranate arils or a sprig of mint for visual appeal.
Stir gently before sipping if you prefer a more blended flavor—or enjoy the layered experience and let each sip evolve.
This pomegranate Italian soda recipe is endlessly customizable. You can keep it light and fruity or make it rich and creamy. Either way, it’s a refreshing, elegant treat that you’ll want to make again and again. Perfect for warm days, festive gatherings, or simply when you need a little sparkle in your routine.
