    For a tasty summer drink, you're going to want to put your hands on this keto Italian soda. Made with just 2 ingredients, it's sugar free and delicious.

    Recipe: $1.31 | Per Serving: $1.31 | Servings: 1

    Looking for a sugar free Italian soda recipe that you can feel good about? Great news, this recipe is it!

    Inspired by our Homemade Italian Sodas, I wanted one that was a little better for you. Fewer sugar, calories, carbs, etc. This way, I could share it with diabetic family members and give my kids a special treat without overloading them on sugar (they definitely get enough of that already haha).

    We have several sugar free recipes on this website including Sugar Free Pancakes and jams like Sugar Free Strawberry Jam and Sugar Free Blueberry Jam. But this is the first truly sugar free drink option (and it probably won't be the last!)

    I really hope you enjoy this sparkling water Italian soda as much as we have!

    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. It's better for you than standard Italian soda drinks. Made with just a few simple ingredients, this Keto Italian cream soda is very diet friendly and easy to incorporate into your day.
    2. Multiple flavor options! We make this Keto Italian soda with sparkling ice (flavored sparkling water), so there are dozens of flavorful possibilities to try.
    3. It's not too sweet. As you can imagine, this drink isn't too sweet, but you can always adjust that by adding in a sugar-free alternative. I like to add a little bit of whipped cream on top for added sweetness.

    🥘 Ingredients

    labeled ingredients needed to make keto italian soda.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Sparkling Water- In traditional Italian soda drinks, we need sweet flavored syrup and club soda for a fizzy taste. Our sparkling water replaces both of those because it's already flavored and fizzy! Use your favorite sparkling water for this recipe, and you're sure to enjoy this drink.

    Heavy Cream- Heavy cream adds a nice appearance as well as a creamy taste to help tone down some of the acidic taste of the sparkling water.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🧾 Substitutions

    Heavy Cream: You could replace the heavy cream with sweetened almond milk or coconut milk for fewer calories or a dairy-free option. Using whole milk will work too, but will be more likely to curdle when the drink is mixed (safe to drink, just not pretty to look at).

    📖 Variations

    Different flavors: Enjoy this recipe with any flavor of sparkling water you want! Our favorites have been black raspberry flavor as well as mango orange and coconut pineapple (which tastes like a pina colada!)

    🥣 Recipe Add-Ins

    Adding Fruits: For added natural sweetness and flavor, muddle some fresh berries at the glass base before adding other ingredients. Alternatively, include frozen mixed berries for a refreshing twist and less dilution.

    "Muddling" refers to gently smashing fruits or herbs in a drink, releasing their essence. Simply mash fruit at the cup's bottom for flavor infusion.

    🔪 Instructions for Keto Italian Soda

    Step 1: Fill a drinking cup with ice cubes.

    Step 2: Pour in enough sparkling water to bring the contents up to 1 inch below the rim of the glass.

    Step 3: Add in your heavy cream.

    Step 4: Mix and taste.

    Step 5: Adjust as needed. If it's too acidic, add in a little more heavy cream. The exact ratio will depend upon the size of the glass up you have chosen to use.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    Don't wait to enjoy. This drink is best when served right after being made. The longer you allow it to sit, the more it will separate and the less appetizing it will look.

    The heavy cream will curdle the longer it sits in the sparkling drink, and eventually, the chunks will rise while the bottom of the glass looks clearer. You've got a few minutes before this happens, and you can stir to incorporate, but it is worth keeping in mind.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    How do you make Italian soda not curdle?

    By adding the cream last, you can allow it to gently fall to the bottom of the glass. The drink is less likely to curdle until after you have fully mixed it in. If the presentation is important with this drink, present it without stirring and have it stirred just before drinking.

    Why is Italian soda bitter?

    Acidic drinks like sparkling water or club soda can have a distinct bitter flavor when not properly balanced. Adding in more cream to the drink can help to offset this taste.

    What are Italian cream sodas made of?

    Italian sodas are nonalcoholic drinks made with carbonated soda, flavored syrups, half and half, or cream. For this recipe, we use flavored sparkling water to replace the flavored syrup and soda for a healthier alternative.
