Kingdom Hearts Sea Salt Cream Soda

I came across a blog that had a recipe for Japanese cream soda, and wondered if I could do the same with other flavors. At my local Marukai Japanese market I found different syrup flavors: melon, Ramune, strawberry, and grape. I opted for the Ramune flavor.

When I made it, I really liked the blue color and it reminded me of the sea salt ice cream in Kingdom Hearts and wondered if I could do another theme. To be honest however, this recipe is really more of a Ramune ice cream soda with a sprinkle of salt on top, calling it "Kingdom Hearts" inspired is undoubtedly a stretch, but it does looks pretty and it does taste good, and the melting ice cream trails made me think of spooky fog. :D Excuses, but it really is tasty! Try it with the different flavors if you can! :)

Sea Salt (Ramune) Cream Soda

1 serving. Ingredients:    

3 tablespoons Japanese Ramune syrup
3/4 cup club soda
1 small scoop vanilla ice cream
Pinch of sea salt
Strawberries (optional)
Mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

1. Fill a glass with ice cubes. Add the syrup and club soda and mix. Top with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Garnish with a strawberry and mint leaves.
2. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the ice cream. [Don't add salt directly to the club soda, it will remove the carbonation. The sweet salty mix will be towards the end as the ice cream melts :). ]
