Cold Brew Cream Soda
Cold brew coffee, sparkling water, and cream — cold brew's naturally sweet 12-24 hour extraction meeting E.M. Sheldon's 1852 cream soda tradition.

Cold Brew Cream Soda combines two distinctive beverage traditions: cold brew coffee, which gained mainstream commercial visibility in the early 2010s through brands like Stumptown and Blue Bottle, and cream soda, the vanilla-flavored carbonated soft drink whose history in America dates to 1852 when E.M. Sheldon of Michigan developed an early version. Cold brew's naturally sweet, chocolatey character — produced by the 12-24 hour cold water extraction process that avoids the bitter compounds released by heat — pairs naturally with cream soda's vanilla sweetness, creating a coffee-cream combination reminiscent of a coffee ice cream float. The combination became popular in specialty coffee shops in the 2010s as bartenders explored coffee-soda pairings, and the non-alcoholic format made it immediately accessible to all customers.
