Blackberry Cream Soda: A Sweet, Fizzy, Creamy Dream

Why Make This Recipe?

This Blackberry Cream Soda is giving old-school soda shop energy—with a fresh, modern twist. It’s fruit-forward, lightly sweet, and creamy in all the right ways. And it’s totally dairy-free and customizable, thanks to JOI’s clean-label milk concentrates.

Whether you’re sipping it solo on a sunny afternoon or mixing up mocktails for friends, this recipe checks every box: nostalgic, simple, and made with real ingredients you can feel great about.

The Blackberry Syrup (aka Flavor Magic)

We’re all about building flavor from the base up. This syrup brings rich berry depth without refined sugar or artificial flavors.

It also keeps beautifully—store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to a week. Not just for soda, this syrup is a multitasker: drizzle it over oatmeal or pancakes, swirl it into plant-based yogurt, or stir it into mocktails and teas for a fruity twist.

Making the Cream Sodas

Why make your own cream soda at home? Because it’s fun, fast, and totally customizable. Unlike store-bought sodas filled with mystery ingredients, this version lets you control the sweetness, fizz level, and creaminess—plus it looks as gorgeous as it tastes.

With just a handful of real ingredients and a splash of JOI, you can whip up something that feels nostalgic yet elevated. Perfect for afternoon pick-me-ups, backyard hangs, or impressing your friends with a soda that’s actually good for you.

Why Use JOI?

That swirl of JOI at the end? That’s the creamy magic that ties everything together.

Unlike other “creamer” products, JOI’s milk concentrates are made from real ingredients—just whole almonds, oats, or cashews. No gums. No fillers. No preservatives.

You get clean, nutrient-dense milk in seconds, blended fresh, exactly how you like it. Try JOI almond, cashew, oat, hemp or oat creamers!

Directions

For the Blackberry Syrup

Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan and place over highheat.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and let it simmer until the mixture thickens slightly.
While it simmers, gently mash some of the blackberries with a fork or spoon to release their juices.
Once done, pour the mixture through a sieve into a bowl or jar, pressing it to extract all the juice. Discard the leftover blueberry skins.
Store the syrup in a glass jar or container until ready to use.

For the Cream Sodas

Fill your glass to the top with ice. Pour about 3 or 4 Tablespoons of the blackberry syrup in over the ice.
Add the carbonated water or club soda, so that the glass is about 3/4 full.
Now fill to the top with JOI milk. Stir and enJOI!
