Soft Drink Recipes

Grandma's Old-Time Soft Drink Recipes Make Authentic Sodas And Soft Drinks

Soft drink recipes are fun to try, especially when they are authentic. And with these vintage soda pop recipes from soda fountains, you'll be able to make all manner of refreshing sodas, root beers, vinegar shrubs, cold summer drinks, and homemade soft drinks right in your own kitchen.

Your friends will be amazed when they taste them, and you'll have the satisfaction of making something normally only bought. These recipes for homemade soft drinks surprisingly easy to make, and the results are so refreshingly good.



The hard-to-find, non-alcoholic beverage recipes were first published in the 1800s, but it is likely that some are much older. Families often used such recipes for generations before they first appeared in print.

Good, Refreshing Taste

Homemade soft drinks are not as sweet and contain no harmful additives and chemical preservatives -- only fresh, all-natural ingredients. You get to control the sweetness, and you get to choose the all-natural ingredients. That's why these drinks are good for you.

Some homemade soft drink recipes may call for raw, uncooked eggs or egg whites. Unfortunately, egg-related Salmonellosis infects some present-day eggs and it's no longer wise to consume raw egg products. To avoid any risk, please refer to Eggs and Salmonella for simple, easy instructions on how to adapt the vintage recipes safely.

My Dad's First Soda Pop

I can recall my father telling me of the time he tasted his first soda pop. It was in 1912, when he was four years old and growing up on the Alberta prairie. He once accompanied his father, Ernest Leopold Bell, and D. P. McDonald, a close friend of his father's and owner of the Mount Royal Ranch, to Cochrane to attend a horse auction. More ranchers joined them, and the men entered the local saloon to talk.

The old bartender asked whether the boy would have a sarsaparilla. The large glass of fizzy, dark-colored liquid took some time to drink, and young Billy could not understand why the men's drinks came in such "little" glasses. Ever since I heard that story I wondered what that old-fashioned soda pop would have tasted like. Thanks to these original soft drink recipes, I can now know.

It's Easy To Make Soft Drinks

It is not difficult to make your own soft drinks and sodas when you use Grandma's old-fashioned recipes, and the results are most rewarding. You will get to experience the wholesome, refreshing, delicious soft drinks your great-grandparents once enjoyed as children. Simply follow the easy beverage recipes and don't be afraid to experiment.

Believe me, once you taste it, you will love it. Make yourself an old-time soft drink and experience the nostalgic taste today.
