Made simply with Kahlua, whipped cream, pure vanilla bean paste, and a little club soda, this creamy Kahlua Vanilla Cream Soda is just pure bliss...
A big thank you to Nielsen-Massey Vanillas, Bob's Red Mill, Silpat, Quirk Books and Dixie Crystals/Imperial Sugar for providing the prizes free of charge. These companies also provided the bloggers with samples and product to use for #VanillaWeek. All opinions stated below are my own.
This Kahlua Vanilla Cream Soda is not your run-of-the-mill cream soda, folks. It is a kicked up adult version of the cream sodas you probably loved as a kid. ;) This cocktail also happens to be my second (and last recipe) for Vanilla Week. If you happened to miss it, I posted a recipe for some amazing Vanilla Glazed Cinnamon-Raisin Biscuits on Monday.
It's food blogger confession time- not all of our recipe ideas actually work out the way that we want them to all of the time. I know, I know... you can't believe it, right? Originally, I had planned to post a delicious bread pudding for my last vanilla inspired recipe of the week. But that ended up being a big fat fail. Like a gloppy mess of weirdness.
But lucky for you all that meant that I had to go back to the drawing board, and this Kahlua Vanilla Cream Soda was concocted instead. So, it ended up being a win-win all around. :)
