8 oz sparkling water, 1 oz flavored syrup
Top the drink with the heavy cream. You can leave the drink as it is, or gently swirl it around to combine the cream into the Italian soda.

Garnish with whipped cream (homemade or store-bought) and chopped fruit garnishes to match the syrup flavor you used.

Notes

1 oz = 6 teaspoons, 8 oz = 1 cup

I use a shot glass measuring cup to make it really simple to measure out 1 oz.

Sparkling Water : This is just plain carbonated water. You can use sparkling water, seltzer water, or club soda.

Nutrition Information : This was calculated using the full sugar syrup flavoring. Not sugar-free.

Heavy Cream : You can use half and half if wanted. Although, you will probably need more of it to make the drink creamy.

Flavored Syrups : I use the Torani brand which I buy on Amazon. You can also find them at grocery stores or at restaurant supply stores. You can use sugar-free syrups if wanted.
