Equipment

• Small saucepan
• spoon or whisk
• measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• tall glass
• stirring spoon

Ingredients

• ½ cup cold brew coffee strong, chilled
• ½ cup sparkling water or club soda chilled
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons half-and-half or heavy cream
• Ice

Optional Toppings

• Vanilla cold foam or whipped cream
• Cocoa powder or cinnamon dust
• Vanilla sugar

Instructions

🍯 Vanilla Simple Syrup (Quick)

• Heat sugar and water in a small saucepan, stirring until dissolved.
• Simmer briefly, remove from heat, cool, then stir in vanilla.

Coffee Fizz with Syrup

• Fill a glass with ice.
• Add coffee and vanilla simple syrup; stir to combine.
• Top with fizz—slowly add sparkling water.
• Finish creamy—pour cream gently over the top for a layered look, or stir for uniform creaminess.
• Garnish & serve immediately.

Notes

• Use strong cold brew: A bolder coffee balances the sweetness and creaminess best.
• Chill everything: Cold ingredients keep the drink fizzy and refreshing.
• Sweetness is flexible: Start with 1–2 tablespoons vanilla syrup and adjust to taste.
• Layering tip: Pour the cream slowly over the back of a spoon for a pretty layered effect.
• Stir or sip: Leave it layered for visual appeal or stir for a smooth, creamy drink.
• Dairy-free option: Oat cream or coconut cream work beautifully.
• Make ahead: Vanilla syrup can be made up to 2 weeks in advance and refrigerated.
• Serve immediately: Coffee fizz is best enjoyed fresh while bubbly.

Can I use regular iced coffee instead of cold brew?
Yes. Cold brew is smoother and less acidic, but strong iced coffee works well if it’s well chilled.

Does the coffee fizz lose carbonation quickly?
Like most soda-style drinks, it’s best enjoyed right away. The bubbles will fade if it sits too long.

Can I make this drink sugar-free?
Yes. Use a sugar-free vanilla syrup or a sugar substitute to reduce or eliminate added sugar.

What type of cream works best?
Half-and-half gives a balanced creaminess, while heavy cream makes it richer. Plant-based creamers also work.

Is this similar to Italian soda?
It’s inspired by Italian sodas but uses coffee as the base instead of flavored syrups alone.

Can I serve this hot?
This recipe is designed to be cold and fizzy. Heating it would remove the carbonation.
