Recipe: Italian Sodas

 I just love Italian Sodas. I love to make them for parties or just my own fun-family night. Last Memorial Day weekend we had a bunch of family come over {like 30 people} and this was probably the biggest hit of the party…Italian Sodas!

These little beauties are fairly inexpensive to make, especially if you can coupon shop for some of the basic ingredients.  For the cups, syrups, straws and lids,  I found out about this store called “Cash & Carry”. Its basically a restaurant supply store and I know that we have a few here in Tri-Cities, and odds are you might have one in your town. They have GREAT prices on these items.  I will give you the price breakdown below the recipe.

Here are some pictures of how it should look when you are making them:

I’m telling you these are a big hit! My kids love helping to make them as well as drink them. If you coupon shop for the 7-up, whipped topping and the coffee-creamer you will definately lower your costs too.

Here is the price breakdown from my local Cash & Carry:

(50) 20 oz cups $5.79
(50 20 oz Lids $2.89
Da Vinchi Syrups $3.74 each!!
Club Soda 2 Liter .99 or FREE 7-up if you have it from couponing
Small Box Straws $2.19
Whipped Topping at Cash + Carry, large size $1.49, {or inexpensive from couponing!}
Coffee-mate Creamer .25 {couponing}

Grand total if you bought 2 syrups = $20.08
{and 50 cups lasts my family quite a while. Remember, any unused syrup can be stored at room temperature.}
