A long time ago, close to 20 years, Olive Garden used to serve a mocktail called Sicilian Splash that my husband and I liked a lot. When it was pulled off the menu we looked for a copycat recipe. Back then it was hard to find the Torani brand syrups in our town. The syrup was the primary ingredient of this mocktail. We found it after a massive search and were able to recreate the drink in the house. It has never failed me till date whether it was served for a girls night out or a dinner party.
Now my daughter loves it and every summer insists we buy the syrup and make this mocktail. In fact it is part of our 4th of July tradition.
I don't really follow a recipe but go by proportions depending upon the size of the glass.
You will need
Ice cubes
Torani orange syrup
White grape juice
Sparkling water
Add ice cubes to the glass a little over half way. Add the ingredients in this order. First the orange syrup, then white grape juice and finally sparkling water in equal proportions. Pour the liquid along the side of the glass to prevent the layers from mixing together. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteLooks awesome. I've seen the Torani syrups in the store, but never bought them -- will definitely try this drink out some time this summer.
ReplyDeleteWhere can get these syrups pls let me know....
ReplyDeleteYou can find them in most grocery stores.
DeleteI cried when they removed this drink from the menu. Occasionally if you get the right server, you can get one of these drinks made as some of the servers remember the drink. I've been craving one lately, so I'm going to make this recipe a staple for the holidays this year. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Let me know if it worked for you.
