Ingredients
Scale
Berry Syrup and Cream
- ½ cup mixed berry syrup (store-bought or homemade with strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries)
- 1 tablespoon coconut cream
Other Ingredients
- ½ cup crushed ice
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda (like Sprite)
- ¼ cup club soda
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Fresh berries and mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Syrup and Cream: In a tall glass, pour the mixed berry syrup and coconut cream. Stir gently to blend the creamy berry base evenly without breaking down the syrup too much.
- Add Ice: Fill the glass halfway with crushed ice to chill the drink and create a refreshing texture.
- Pour Sodas and Lime: Slowly add the lemon-lime soda and club soda to the glass, followed by the fresh lime juice to add a zesty freshness.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy, blending the flavors and the creamy texture harmoniously.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh berries and mint leaves if desired for added aroma and visual appeal. Serve immediately with a straw to enjoy at peak freshness.
Notes
- For a richer and creamier version, add a splash of half-and-half or increase the coconut cream quantity.
- Homemade berry syrup can be made by simmering 1 cup of mixed berries with ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water until thickened, then strained to remove seeds.
- This drink is naturally non-alcoholic but can be customized into a cocktail by adding a splash of your favorite spirit.
- Use freshly crushed ice for the best texture and chill.
