The ingredient list for these drinks is quite short, and it’s easy to find everything at any store: grab your favorite, plain sparkling water, blueberries, half and half, sugar to make the simple syrup, lemon for its zest, and don’t forget the whipped topping — that’s all — or e tutto, as they say in Italian!
I used to think these pretty, fruity drinks were only available in restaurants and cool coffee shops, but au contraire (French because I’m not sure how to say it in Italian)!

Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 6 ounces blueberries
- Zest of 1/2 small lemon
- 8 ounces half and half (about 2 ounces per drink)
- 24 ounces plain sparkling water (about 6 ounces per drink)
- Whipped topping for garnish
Instructions
- Add the sugar and water to a sauce pan over high heat. Stir to help dissolve the sugar, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add the blueberries and lemon zest. Stir. Reduce the heat to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. The blueberries should burst as the mixture simmers.
- Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool. When cool, strain to separate the liquid from the blueberries (don’t smash the blueberries as you strain the mixture). Save the blueberry remains for a smoothie or toss in some yogurt.
- Fill a 12-ounce glass about halfway with ice cubes. Add 2 ounces of the blueberry syrup to the glass.
- Add 6 ounces of club soda to the glass, then about 2 ounces of half and half.
- Garnish with whipped topping and serve with a straw.
- Stir and enjoy.
