Thirsty Thursdays

I have never made an Italian Soda before, but I've always wanted to try because I love them so much! It was very warm today, so a chilly drink tonight was perfect!

This morning I made simple syrups with some blueberries and watermelon (the watermelon syrup turned out really gross BTW), and my sister, Amber gave me some blackberry syrup today (Thanks Amber!) The children and I had fun trying the different combinations, and coming up with a delicious recipe!
