Honeydew Italian Cream Soda

Savor the decadent taste of summer with this Honeydew Italian Cream Soda. This effervescent delight pairs the sweetness of fresh honeydew melon with the bubbly zest of sparkling water.

Originating in Italy, these sodas were traditionally made with carbonated water and a variety of fruit syrups. Our version brings the sunny flavors of honeydew to center stage.
