Vanilla Cream Soda Mocktail
This vanilla cream soda mocktail is smooth, sweet, and fizzy—like a soda shop treat, but alcohol-free. Creamy vanilla, bubbly soda, and a whipped cream top make it fun for parties or just a solo treat.

Notes
Club soda gives punchier fizz, while sparkling water makes it lighter. Add more syrup for a sweeter drink, or just a drop of vanilla extract if you’re out of syrup. Pour cream slowly to avoid fizz overflow. Layer the cream on top for a float-style look, or stir it in for full creaminess. Chill all ingredients first for best texture.
