Pro Tips
✔️ Chill your soda first! A cold soda makes the drink extra refreshing.
✔️ Adjust the sweetness. If you like it less sweet, reduce the syrups a little.

✔️ Stir gently. You want to mix it but keep some fizz!
✔️ Make it a float! Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
How to Make Vanilla Sky Dirty Soda
1. Fill the Glass with Ice
Fill a tall glass all the way with ice cubes. This keeps the drink extra cold and helps mix the flavors as you pour.
2. Pour in the Soda
Slowly pour the Sprite over the ice, filling the glass about ¾ of the way.
3. Add the Syrups
Pour in 2 tbsp coconut syrup and 1 tbsp vanilla syrup. These flavors bring that creamy tropical twist.
4. Add the Half-and-Half
Slowly pour in ¼ cup half-and-half. Watch as it swirls and mixes beautifully with the soda.
5. Stir Gently
Use a spoon or straw to give it a gentle stir—just enough to mix the flavors while keeping some of the swirls.
6. Top with Whipped Cream & Cherry (Optional!)
Finish it off with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry on top for that extra treat!
Substitutions & Variations
🌿 Dairy-Free? Use coconut milk or almond milk instead of half-and-half.
🍋 Less Sweet? Cut the syrups in half or use sugar-free options.
🥥 More Coconut Flavor? Add an extra ½ tbsp coconut syrup.
🍨 Make it a Float! Swap the half-and-half for a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Leftovers & Storage
This drink is best enjoyed right away! If it sits too long, the fizz fades. But if you need to prep, you can mix the syrups and half-and-half ahead, then add soda when ready to serve.
