Romanos sodaTips
We chose the Jones brand cream soda because it's clear. This helps you get the right blue when the food coloring is added. Not all cream sodas are clear, so check for brands that are for best color results. If you aren't a fan of cream soda, you can use 7-UP or Sprite.

Flavors
For the adventurous, try flavored soda as well, such as Romano's creamy strawberry Italian soda. Check out more awesome Romano's recipes for your big bash.
