I love a tasty non-alcoholic holiday drink this time of year, but is it just me, or do most holiday drinks tend to go in the cranberry direction? No shade on cranberries, but there are so many other delicious flavors from the season that I'd like to indulge in. So, I took matters into my own hands and reinvented a childhood classic with a festive spin. Introducing the pumpkin pie Italian soda.
If you've never heard of Italian sodas, let me give you the rundown. To make Italian sodas, start by mixing ice and flavored syrup with sparkling water, and then top it off with a splash of cream or half-and-half. It's a simple and delightful way to enjoy a fizzy, creamy beverage.

To make it fit our dietary needs, I used a sugar-free pumpkin pie Toroni syrup and a dairy-free pumpkin spice creamer and topped it with a dairy-free whipped cream. It's simple to make, an instant crowd-pleaser, and you can get as creative with your flavors as you want. Let me know if you give it a try!
