🍓 What You’ll Need
- 1/4 cup mixed berry puree (blend raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries)
- 1 tablespoon coconut syrup (for that tropical twist!)
- 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7Up)
- 1/4 cup club soda (for extra fizz)
- 2 tablespoons half & half (adds that creamy, dreamy touch)
- Ice cubes (lots of them!)
- Fresh berries & lime slices (for garnish)
⭐ Pro Tips
- Blend the berries fresh – You can use frozen ones, but let them thaw a bit for easier blending.
- Adjust the sweetness – If you like it sweeter, add a little simple syrup or honey.
- Coconut-free option – Swap the coconut syrup for vanilla syrup if you’re not a coconut fan.
- Creamy or not? – Skip the half & half if you want it more refreshing, or add extra for a richer taste.
- Make it a party – Set up a DIY dirty soda bar with different syrups, sodas, and add-ins!
