    WHAT IS COFFEE SODA?

    Coffee soda is the combination of your favorite coffee mixed with club soda. It can mimic the taste and smoothness of nitro coffee (without the need to infuse anything with nitrogen). While you can add coffee flavor or coffee syrup (or even maple syrup), most people find that there is no extra flavor or added sugar needed - which can be great if you're counting calories.

    INGREDIENTS

    Cold Brew and Club Soda - Ingredients for Iced Coffee Soda

    Check out these simple ingredients - see why we love this drink so much?

    Coffee

    use any coffee that you love. We use store bought cold-brew coffee, but you could use espresso shots, regular coffee made in your french press or good old drip coffee. Some people even like to use instant coffee or decaf coffee. It really is all about personal preference.

    Club Soda

    You can also use soda water, seltzer water, flavored sparkling water or your favorite carbonated soda. We definitely recommend giving club soda a try first though.

    Ice Cubes

    Are you a true coffee lover? Some people go the extra mile and make coffee ice cubes (yup - they're making coffee at home and then freezing it into ice cube trays. This will really enhance the coffee taste.

    Optional: Sweetener

    You can use a splash of simple syrup or maple syrup if you need to make this a little bit sweet. We didn't find it necessary.

    Optional: Splash of cream.

    We actually like to make cold foam using cold Skim Milk to take this to the next level.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Ice in a clear glass.

    Step 1 - In a tall glass, add ice, coffee and club soda.

    Step 2 - Add optional sweetener and mix well.

    Step 3 - Add optional cold foam.

    Step 4 - Enjoy!

    Hint: Don't have a frother? Pour skim milk into an airtight container and shake well for 30 seconds. Let sit for another 30 seconds. Boom - you have cold foam.

    TOP TIPS

    Want to serve this simple recipe to a crowd? This is easily replicated in big batches by mixing in a large pitcher, and it's a great option for a summer brunch.

    VARIATIONS

    After you've tried this recipe with club soda, get creative and mix it up. Not only can you use different types of coffee (Hazelnut on a fall day sounds divine), you can also substitute the club soda for your favorite soda. Ginger ale is a favorite at our house, but you could also try Coke, Pepsi or even Dr. Pepper.

    Want to go super crazy? Add a scoop of ice cream at the very end. Talk about making it a summer to remember!

    FAQ

    What's the deal with coffee soda?

    Coffee soda is this awesome drink where you mix coffee with bubbly club soda. It's like a mashup of coffee vibes and soda fizz.

    How do you even make coffee soda?

    Making coffee soda is a breeze! You brew up some strong coffee, let it cool down, then mix it up with club soda or carbonated water. Toss in some sweeteners or flavors if you're feeling fancy.

    Can I just use any type of coffee for coffee soda?

    Yup, you've got options! Cold brew, espresso, regular brewed coffee—take your pick. Just make sure it's nice and strong to hold up against the bubbles.

    Can I jazz up my coffee soda with some sweetness?

    Totally! Sprinkle in some sugar, syrups, or honey to give your coffee soda a sweet twist. You're the boss of your flavor game. (I would definitely give our sugar cookie simple syrup a try!)

    Can you get all creative with flavors in coffee soda?

    Oh, absolutely! Vanilla, caramel, chocolate—go wild with flavorings. You can even throw in some cinnamon or other spices for that extra pizzazz.

    Is coffee soda gonna give me a caffeine kick?

    You betcha! The caffeine from the coffee hangs out in your coffee soda, ready to give you that energy boost you're after.

    Can I chill with decaf coffee soda?

    Absolutely! If you're not up for the caffeine buzz, roll with decaf coffee for your soda. You'll still get that coffee taste, minus the jitters.

    Is coffee soda a thing people are into?

    Oh yeah, for sure! It's become a hit in some circles as this cool way to enjoy coffee in a fizzy form. Different strokes for different folks, you know?

    Can I grab ready-to-go coffee soda at the store?

    Some fancy spots might have it, but coffee soda is often a DIY thing. Brew your coffee, fizz it up with club soda—ta-da, you're the coffee soda master!
