Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/4 tablespoon of almond extract
1/4 cup cherry juice**
1 quart soda water

Steps:

  • 1. Read more: http://www.grandparents.com/gp/content/food/recipes/article/cherry-vanilla-cream-soda.
  • 2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water and the sugar. Add the vanilla bean. Boil over medium heat for 2 minutes or until the mixture is reduced to a thin syrup. 2. Remove the vanilla bean. Rinse in hot water. Set aside to air-dry and save for another use. 3. Allow the syrup to cool. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts and the cherry juice. 4. Pour 2 tablespoons of the cherry-vanilla syrup over ice cubes in a tall glass and fill with soda water. Stir to combine. Serve with a silly straw. Yield: Serves 8 **Note: "Look for cherry juice in the natural foods section of the market if it is not in the juice aisle. If you can't find cherry juice in your market, substitute a few drops of grenadine." The cream soda pop bottled on the Mississippi Gulf Coast was a bright ruby red, writes Martha Hall Foose in her book, Screen Doors and Sweet Tea: Recipes and Tales from a Southern Cook (Clarkson Potter, 2008). This dazzling drink came in bottles that were faceted on the sides like cut gems, with blue and white painted script that glowed when the bottles were turned upside down and their contents gulped down in the sunshine. A shot of cherry juice adds the bright color to this rendition of that Mississippi summertime childhood favorite.

I was a bit skeptical at first, but this cherry vanilla cream soda is actually really good! The cherry and vanilla flavors are really well-balanced and the creaminess of the soda is perfect. I would definitely recommend giving this recipe a try.

This recipe is a keeper! It's so simple to make and the results are amazing. The cherry vanilla flavor is perfectly balanced and the cream soda is so refreshing. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it again and again.
