Plus, it’s totally customizable, so the whole family can enjoy it just the way they like!

What You’ll Need

  • Ice cubes – To keep it nice and chilled
  • Hazelnut syrup (2 tbsp) – Adds that rich, nutty sweetness
  • Vanilla extract (¼ tsp) – Just a little for extra depth
  • Cola (1 cup) – Your favorite brand works!
  • Half-and-half (¼ cup) – Makes it smooth and creamy
  • Whipped cream – Optional, but highly recommended
  • Caramel drizzle – For a little extra indulgence

Pro Tips

  1. Chill your glass first – A cold glass keeps the drink extra refreshing.
  2. Pour slowly – Adding the half-and-half too fast can cause it to separate. Pour gently for a smooth blend.
  3. Adjust the sweetness – If you like it less sweet, start with less hazelnut syrup and add more as needed.
  4. Try different sodas – If you’re not a cola fan, root beer or cream soda are amazing swaps.
  5. Stir or layer? – Stir for a well-mixed drink or leave it layered for that pretty look before sipping.

Tools You’ll Need

  • Tall glass
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cup
  • Spoon for stirring
  • Straw (optional)

Substitutions & Variations

  • Swap the half-and-half → Use whole milk or a dairy-free alternative like oat or almond milk.
  • Go caffeine-free → Use a caffeine-free soda for a kid-friendly version.
  • Make it extra fancy → Add chocolate syrup for a mocha-hazelnut twist!

Make-Ahead Tips

  • You can pre-mix the hazelnut syrup, vanilla, and half-and-half in a small jar and store it in the fridge. Then, just add it to your soda when ready!
