Italian Soda, American Coffeehouse Style is a toast to the old American soda fountain. Syrup, soda, and cream, popularized in American cafes. Before every drink came bottled or canned, fountain counters mixed syrup, dairy, soda water, fruit, and ice into small pieces of theater. This one keeps that hand-mixed counter charm intact.
