This Coconut Kiss Dirty Soda is creamy, bubbly, and full of tropical coconut taste. It also has a little zing from fresh lime.

Great for summer afternoons, movie evenings, or any time you need a little boost!
Ingredients
- 1 can of cola (Coke or Pepsi work well)
- 2 tbsp of coconut syrup
- 2 tablespoons of half and half (or coconut milk for more coconut taste)
- ½ cup of crushed ice
- 1 lime, cut into slices
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Optional: toasted coconut flakes for garnish
Equipment
- Long glass
- Use a straw or spoon to stir.
- Knife with cutting board (to chop lime)
- Spoons for measuring
Instructions
- Put crushed ice in a large glass until it is about half full.
- Slowly pour 2 tablespoons of coconut syrup over the ice.
- Pour the cola in slowly until the glass is roughly three-quarters full.
- Add two teaspoons of half and half to the soda. Look at it spin!
- Add whipped cream, toasted coconut flakes, and a slice of lime on the rim. Give it a gentle stir and enjoy!
Tips and Variations
- Use ice cubes! Crushed or pebble ice makes the drink even colder and tastier. If you can find Sonic-style ice, that’s even better!
- Gently mix. You want the tastes to blend, but you still want the creamy swirl on top.
- Give coconut milk a try. If you like coconut, use coconut milk instead of half and half to make it more tropical.
- Cool down your glass. A chilly glass keeps the liquid cool for longer.
- Turn it into a float! Instead of half and half, add a scoop of coconut ice cream for a more decadent dessert.
Alternative Options
- A diet version? Use sugar-free coconut syrup and diet cola.
- No dairy? Instead of half and half, use almond or coconut milk.
- More like the tropics? Put in some pineapple juice!
- Caffeine-free? For a fun variation, try cola or root beer that doesn’t have caffeine.
Final Thoughts
You should drink this right now! If you need to get ready ahead of time, mix the coconut syrup and cola first. Then, shortly before serving, add ice and half and half.
This Coconut Kiss Dirty Soda is really easy to make and tastes great! It will be a hit whether you make it for yourself or for the whole family. Try it out and let me know in the comments how it went! 😊
