Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 ounce flavored syrup
- 1½ cups ice
- 8 ounces sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 strawberry (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Fill the glass with ice. Start by placing 1½ cups of ice into a tall glass to chill the drink and keep it cold.
- Add flavored syrup. Pour 1 ounce of your favorite flavored syrup over the ice to give your soda its distinct taste. Popular choices include raspberry, vanilla, or cherry.
- Top with sparkling water. Slowly add 8 ounces of sparkling water to the glass to create the fizzy base of the soda.
- Add heavy cream and garnish. Pour 1 tablespoon of heavy cream on top for a creamy texture, then garnish with a fresh strawberry if desired. Serve immediately with a straw for the best experience.
Notes
- You can customize this recipe by choosing any flavored syrup to suit your taste preferences.
- For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or a plant-based creamer.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fizzy carbonation before it dissipates.
- If you prefer a lighter drink, reduce the amount of syrup or skip the cream.
