Pro Tips

Chill everything first – Cold soda + cold half-and-half = extra refreshing!
Adjust the creaminess – If you like it extra creamy, add a splash more half-and-half.
Stir before sipping – The layers look cool, but mixing it makes every sip taste amazing.
Try diet soda – If you want a lighter version, swap regular soda for diet.
Make it extra limey – Add an extra squeeze of fresh lime for more zing!

Tools You’ll Need

  • Tall glass
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spoon or straw for stirring

Substitutions & Variations

  • Dairy-free? Use coconut milk or almond milk instead of half-and-half.
  • Different soda? Try Mountain Dew, ginger ale, or club soda for a twist.
  • Extra tropical? Add a splash of pineapple juice.
  • Less sweet? Use less coconut syrup or swap for sugar-free syrup.
