Our Honey Cream Soda takes the traditional, beloved vanilla notes of a classic cream soda and elevates them with the golden touch of real honey. The result is an incredibly silky-smooth, comforting finish that is light, creamy, and wonderfully sweet. It’s the flavor of a simpler time, perfected for today.
A Story in Every Bubble: The History of Cream Soda
The history of cream soda dates back to the late 19th century in the United States, around the same time other iconic fountain drinks were gaining popularity. Early recipes, such as one patented in 1851, often called for ingredients like water, sugar, milk (or cream), and an essence of lemon. However, the modern flavor we recognize—richly flavored with vanilla—became the standard.
Cream soda captured the public imagination by tasting like a liquidized dessert, often invoking the flavor of melted vanilla ice cream or a root beer float. It became a beloved staple at soda fountains, offering a uniquely smooth and decadent alternative to more acidic or spiced sodas. Our Honey Cream Soda pays homage to that rich, creamy foundation while using natural honey to add a beautiful, complex depth that sets it apart.
Culinary & Cocktail Versatility
The rich, vanilla-forward profile of our Honey Cream Soda makes it an unexpectedly versatile ingredient in the kitchen and behind the bar:
In the Kitchen (Baking & Glazing):
The creaminess and concentrated vanilla flavor allow this soda to shine in sweet and savory applications:
Baking Secret: Use it in place of milk or water when making cake batter (especially for vanilla or yellow cakes) to achieve an incredibly light texture and enhance the vanilla flavor.
Decadent Glaze: Reduce the Honey Cream Soda down to a thick, syrupy glaze and brush it over pancakes, waffles, or a holiday ham for a shiny, caramelized crust with a honey-vanilla essence.
Float Alternative: Skip the scoop and simply chill the soda—it’s already a creamy dessert in a bottle.
In the Glass (Mixology Marvel):
The bold vanilla and smooth honey notes make this soda a natural mixer for both spirits and non-alcoholic drinks:
Cocktail Creaminess: Pair it with bourbon or spiced rum for a decadent, easy-drinking cocktail. The honey and vanilla naturally complement the oak and spice notes of dark spirits.
Adult Milkshake: Blend it with high-quality vanilla ice cream and a shot of vodka or Irish cream for an instant, elevated spiked milkshake.
The Perfect Mocktail: Pour over ice and add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to cut through the sweetness, or garnish with a maraschino cherry for a classic, sophisticated non-alcoholic delight.
Honey Cream Soda: Taste the sweet comfort of tradition, bottled.
