What is Iced Coffee Soda?
The great thing about making coffee soda is that it stays true to the coffee flavor; it’s not coffee-flavored soda, but real coffee incorporated into a soda-like drink.
Fresh brewed and chilled coffee is slightly sweetened to taste. Then carbonated club soda is added.
Iced Coffee Soda is a refreshing cold drink with fantastic pure coffee flavor. No artificial ingredients or fake sweet flavors.
Ingredients
Coffee soda is something I’ve been enjoying a lot recently.
It can be made with regular coffee or flavored coffee, as well as espresso too.
Here’s what’s in it:
- Prepared coffee
- Simple Syrup (homemade or store purchased)
- Club Soda or sparkling water
- Ice
How to Make Iced Coffee Soda – Step by Step
Making Iced Coffee Soda is very easy.
Check the Pro Tips below to make it even easier!
To make the Homemade Simple Syrup:
- Combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a low boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Once sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and allow to cool fully.
- May be be stored sealed in the refrigerator.
NOTE: the simple syrup yield is around 1 cup.
Depending on sweetness preference, 1-2 tablespoons are used per glass of Iced Coffee Soda.
The batch of simple syrup will be good for 8-16 glasses.
Instructions for making Iced Coffee Soda:
- Fill a tall glass (12-14 ounces) with ice (photo 1).
- Pour in the coffee (photo 2) and club soda (photo 3).
- Add simple syrup to taste (complete iced coffee soda is photo 4).
Pro Tips for Making Iced Coffee Soda
Making coffee soda is a cinch with the key being having the ingredients prepared and chilled beforehand.
I keep a Mason jar of prepared coffee chilling in the refrigerator along with Club Soda and simple syrup (recipe included).
With those things on hand, it is as easy as pouring it into the glass whenever the mood strikes or friends pop by.
It’s great for a coffee break at work too (since I have a home office, it’s really convenient!).
Variations
If you are a flavored coffee lover, make flavored coffee it use.
The flavor can also be changed up by making flavored simple syrups. They are easy to make and can be used in other drinks or cocktails too.
True coffee addicts can get an extra caffeine dose by making coffee ice cubes to use too!
Just pour coffee or espresso into an ice cube mold and freeze.

How can there be no sugar in the drink (according to your nutritional info) when simple syrup is literally just sugar water?
Toni Dash says
Hi Jerry. The nutritional information is just for the coffee soda. Since the simple syrup is added to taste, there is no way to definitively include the amount as everyone will add different amounts of simple syrup (and some will add none). There is a note in the recipe card notes with regard to the nutritional information.
