raspberry cream soda

Raspberries and cream are a combination that’s hard to beat in terms of deliciousness. The delicate tartness and summery sweetness of the deep red berries blend harmoniously with the creamy richness of the cream. We love this combination in airy sponge cake, buttery puff pastry, on pancakes, or simply on its own. And if you add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, our happiness is complete.

In English-speaking countries, there’s a soft drink that combines this delightful duo with sparkling carbonation. The Vault City brewery from Scotland has taken inspiration from this very treat: their Raspberry Cream Soda, however, isn’t a soft drink, but a delicious sour beer. This specialty is infused with fresh raspberries, vanilla, and lactose, and comes remarkably close to its inspiration.

Raspberry Cream Soda pours into the glass a cheerful raspberry red, crowned with a fine-pored, pink foam. The aroma of freshly picked raspberries and vanilla ice cream fills the air, making your mouth water. A taste test is inevitable and well worth it: a wave of sweet, juicy raspberries floods the palate. Cream, vanilla sugar, and a subtly balanced acidity expertly round off this berry delight.

A slice of Grandma’s fluffy Swiss roll and an ice-cold raspberry cream soda? Heaven on earth!
