I am one quarter Italian. That’s a big chunk compared to the mix the other 3/4 of me. My Grandma was full blooded Italian and she would speak Italian when she was angry. It was so fun to listen to her go off on her husband. 🙂 Whenever we go to an Italian restaurant I order an Italian soda. They are so good. Did you know they are really easy to make? You only need 3 ingredients. The Grenadine Flavor has become a Christmas Tradition at our home. Serve it with a green striped straw and you’re set!

Christmas Grenadine Italian Soda:

• 1 cup club soda or sparkling water
• 2 tablespoons grenadine syrup
• 1/4 cup half and half

If you like ice, add ice to the cup first. Make sure you have a cup large enough to hold the ice and the liquids. Add the club soda on top of the ice.

Then add the syrup.

Then add the half and half and stir.

Enjoy! So simple and so good!
