What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 1 can (12 oz) cola (Coke or Pepsi work great)
- 2 tablespoons coconut syrup
- 2 tablespoons half & half (or coconut milk for extra coconut flavor)
- ½ cup crushed ice
- 1 fresh lime, sliced
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)
Tools:
- Tall glass
- Spoon or straw for stirring
- Knife and cutting board (for slicing lime)
- Measuring spoons
Pro Tips
- Use pebble ice! Crushed or pebble ice makes the drink extra cold and delicious. If you can get your hands on Sonic-style ice, even better!
- Stir gently. You want the flavors to mix but still keep that creamy swirl on top.
- Try coconut milk. If you love coconut, swap half & half for coconut milk to boost the tropical vibes.
- Chill your glass. A cold glass keeps the drink refreshing longer.
- Make it a float! Add a scoop of coconut ice cream instead of half & half for an extra-indulgent treat.
