Ingredients
  

1 cup club soda

1/2 cup flavored syrup (such as raspberry, peach, or vanilla)

1/2 cup heavy cream

Crushed ice

Whipped cream for topping

Maraschino cherries for garnish

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with crushed ice, leaving some space at the top for the cream and whipped topping.

    Add the Syrup: Pour your chosen flavored syrup over the ice. This can be any flavor you love; raspberry and peach are popular choices!

      Mix with Club Soda: Slowly add the club soda to the glass, pouring gently to avoid excess fizz. Stir lightly with a spoon to mix the syrup and soda without losing too much carbonation.

        Add the Cream: In a small bowl or measuring cup, gently mix the heavy cream. With the spoon, pour the cream down the side of the glass so it gradually floats on top of the soda, creating a beautiful layered effect.

          Top It Off: Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of the cream layer.

            Garnish: Finish off your Italian cream soda with a maraschino cherry and, if desired, a sprig of fresh mint for an aromatic touch.

              Serve: Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy the delightful layers of flavor!
