cream soda
Sweet vanilla beverage
Cream soda is a sweet, vanilla-flavored carbonated soft drink, typically clear or pale gold in color.
Some varieties are dyed bright red or pink.
The name suggests creaminess, though most cream sodas contain no dairy: I'll have a root beer float—no, make it a cream soda float.
