If you grew up anywhere near New Orleans, you already know that nectar cream soda isn’t just a drink—it's a nostalgic hug in a glass. Long before snowballs came in every flavor imaginable, and before coffee shops were swirling syrups into everything, Nectar reigned as one of the South’s most beloved sweet treats. Today, we’re bringing this iconic flavor back to life with our New Orleans Nectar Cream Soda Syrup, handcrafted with the same old-fashioned charm that made the original famous.
What Is Nectar Cream Soda?
Nectar cream soda is a bright pink, vanilla-kissed syrup with a whisper of almond and a whole lot of Louisiana charm. Traditionally mixed with ice-cold milk or topped with fizzy soda water, it creates the prettiest, sweetest drink you’ll ever taste. Think:
✨ retro soda fountain vibes
✨ a touch of Mardi Gras flair
✨ childhood summers in the South
Its unique taste—somewhere between a vanilla cream soda, a wedding cake snowball, and a cherry-almond dream—has kept it legendary for over 100 years.
A Louisiana Tradition
Nectar syrup first appeared in New Orleans pharmacies and soda fountains in the early 1900s. Back then, soda jerks would pump a splash of this rosy syrup into milk, ice cream sodas, or fizzy water, creating a drink that quickly became a local favorite. It was beautiful, fun, and delicious—everything New Orleans stands for.
Our Nectar Cream Soda Syrup honors that tradition while giving it a modern, all-natural glow-up. We use real sugar, clean ingredients, and old-school techniques to create a syrup that tastes like pure nostalgia.

Our syrup is versatile, family-friendly, and absolutely addicting. Here are some of the easiest and most delicious ways to enjoy it:
