What You’ll Need

- Coconut syrup – 2 tbsp
- Half-and-half – 2 tbsp
- Fresh lime – 1, sliced into wedges
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Pro Tips

✔ Adjust the creaminess – If you like it extra creamy, add a splash more half-and-half.
✔ Stir before sipping – The layers look cool, but mixing it makes every sip taste amazing.
✔ Try diet soda – If you want a lighter version, swap regular soda for diet.
✔ Make it extra limey – Add an extra squeeze of fresh lime for more zing!
Tools You’ll Need
- Tall glass
- Measuring spoons
- Spoon or straw for stirring
Substitutions & Variations
- Dairy-free? Use coconut milk or almond milk instead of half-and-half.

How to Make Electric Lime Dirty Soda
Step 1: Fill the Glass with Ice
Fill a tall glass to the top with ice cubes.
Step 2: Pour in the Lime Soda
Slowly pour the can of lime-flavored soda over the ice, filling the glass about ¾ full.
Step 3: Add the Coconut Syrup
Measure 2 tablespoons of coconut syrup and pour it into the soda.
Step 4: Add the Half-and-Half
Pour 2 tablespoons of half-and-half into the glass. Watch the creamy swirls form!
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Squeeze in a wedge of fresh lime, give it a stir, and top with whipped cream if you like!
Leftovers & Storage
