Pro Tips & Variations
- Use Pebble Ice—Sonic's variety is ideal for this cocktail because it soaks up the flavors so well.
- Chill Your Glass: To keep your drink extremely cold, put your glass in the freezer for five minutes before you make it.
- Change the sweetness by adding more or less raspberry syrup, depending on how sweet you prefer it.
- Make It Dairy-Free: Use almond creamer or coconut milk instead of coconut cream.
- Try out different flavors. For a tropical twist, add a splash of pineapple juice!
No Raspberry Syrup?
- Mix fresh raspberries with a little sugar.
- Want it to be less sweet? Instead of Sprite, use club soda.
- Do you like drinks with extra cream? Put in a little sweetened condensed milk.
You can put the raspberry syrup, coconut cream, lime juice, and vanilla in a jar ahead of time. Simply pour over ice and add Sprite when you're ready to serve!
You should consume this drink immediately away, but if you want to get ready ahead of time, mix the flavoring ingredients (raspberry syrup, coconut cream, lime juice, and vanilla) and put them in the fridge. When you serve it, just add ice and soda!
