Ingredients
- Ice cubes (enough to fill a tall glass)
- 12 oz can of lime-flavored soda, such Sprite or 7UP
- 2 tablespoons of coconut syrup
- 2 tablespoons of half-and-half
- 1 fresh lime, cut into wedges
- Optional: whipped cream for topping
Tools
- A tall glass
- Spoons for measuring
- Use a spoon or straw to stir
Instructions
- Put ice cubes in a tall glass until it is full.
- Slowly pour the lime-flavored soda from the can over the ice until the glass is about three-quarters filled.
- Put 2 teaspoons of coconut syrup into the soda.
- Put 2 tablespoons of half-and-half into the glass. See the creamy swirls take shape!
- If you want, you can add whipped cream on top after squeezing in a wedge of fresh lime and stirring it.
Tips and Variations
- ✔ Chill everything beforehand. Cold soda and cold half-and-half make a drink that is even more refreshing!
- ✔ Change the creaminess: If you want it to be really creamy, add a little more half-and-half.
- ✔ Mix it up before you drink it. The layers look cool, but combining it makes every sip taste great.
- Try diet soda. If you want a lighter version, use diet soda instead of regular soda.
- Add more lime juice for added zing!
More variations:
- No dairy? Instead of half-and-half, use coconut milk or almond milk.
- A different soda? For a change, try Mountain Dew, ginger ale, or club soda.
- More than tropical? Add some pineapple juice.
- Not as sweet? Use less coconut syrup or switch to syrup that doesn’t have any sugar in it.
Storage and Serving
The greatest time to drink dirty soda is when it’s new. You can keep it in the fridge for a while if you need to save it, but it will lose some fizz.
