Refreshing and Tasty: 15 Cream Soda Flavoured Recipes

When it comes to pop flavours, we’re not the most traditional in choosing our favourites. Instead, we’re actually more likely to choose cream soda 100% of the time. We even know there are different ways to make cream soda and that it comes in all different colours, depending on where you come from, and we’ve tried and loved them all! We actually love cream soda so much that we’ll try just about any recipe that resembles its taste as well.

Just in case you’re a huge cream soda fan like we are, here are some awesome homemade recipes that let you enjoy that great taste whenever you please!

We know what you’re thinking: there’s no way that beer and cream soda actually taste good mixed together. Well, that’s not actually quite how you make this drink, since mixing beer and pop would taste quite funny, but you’d be surprised how great the two flavours actually taste together! Chow Hound shows you how to do it by adding vanilla and ginger liqueurs.

When it comes to other kinds of drinks, one of our favourite flavours to learn how to make has always been orange because it reminds us of creamsicles. Besides cream soda itself, orange creamsicle flavours have always been another favourite! That’s why, when we realized that Just A Pinch found a way to combine the two, we were ecstatic! Check out how they made this delectable beverage from orange ice cream in the place of cream mixed with soda water and vanilla simple syrup.

We’ve talked about all these awesome fruit flavours that can be added to your cream soda now but what if you were scrolling that whole way hoping to find one that’s a little more tropical? Berries and oranges are all well and good, but they’re kind of common flavours for things, if you think about it. Mangoes, however, sound like a really exciting thing to mix with classic vanilla hinted cream soda! That’s why we were so happy to stumble across this mango cream soda recipe from Tadka Pasta (and to try it immediately).

We love lemons. We’ve always loved lemons.

As much as we love the classic flavour, the thought of adding a tart lemon flavour to our favourite sweet drink practically has us drooling.
