Coconut Kiss Dirty Soda

Ingredients

1 cup coconut soda or coconut-flavored sparkling water (for a lighter version)
1/2 cup club soda or lemon-lime soda (for extra fizz)
2 tablespoons coconut syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)
1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut cream (for a dairy-free option)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Prepare the glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to chill.
Mix the soda base: In a small mixing cup, combine the coconut soda and club soda (or lemon-lime soda). Stir gently to mix.
Add the coconut syrup: Pour the coconut syrup into the glass over the ice, followed by the soda mixture. Stir to combine and ensure the syrup dissolves into the soda.
Add cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream or coconut cream, and stir gently to incorporate. The cream should swirl through the soda, giving the drink a beautiful, cloudy look.
Optional sweetener: If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add vanilla syrup to enhance the flavor. Stir it in for a richer taste.
Garnish and serve: Top with shredded coconut for a tropical garnish, and add a maraschino cherry if desired. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy!

Variations

Make it fruity: Add fruit juices like pineapple, mango, or lime for a fruity twist. You can also garnish with fresh fruit slices.
Alcoholic version: Add a shot of rum or coconut rum for a tropical cocktail version of the drink.
Dairy-free version: Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and skip the vanilla syrup for a fully dairy-free treat.
Flavored soda: Try using different flavored sodas, such as pineapple soda or passionfruit soda, for unique variations of this drink.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: This drink is best enjoyed fresh, as the soda can lose its fizz if stored for too long.
Reheating: This drink should be served cold and doesn’t require reheating. If making in batches, prepare the components in advance, but add the cream and soda just before serving to keep the fizz intact.

FAQs

1. Can I make this drink without coconut soda?

Yes! If you don’t have coconut soda, you can use coconut-flavored sparkling water or just regular club soda with a splash of coconut syrup for flavor.

2. Can I make this a healthier version?

You can reduce the sugar by using a sugar-free coconut syrup or adjusting the amount of syrup added. You can also use a sparkling water with no added sugar for a lighter drink.

3. Can I use coconut milk instead of coconut cream?

Yes, you can use coconut milk for a lighter version of this drink. Coconut cream will make it richer and creamier, but coconut milk works well too.

4. Can I use whipped cream instead of heavy cream?

Yes, you can top the drink with whipped cream instead of using heavy cream for a lighter, airier texture. Whipped coconut cream is also a great option for a dairy-free alternative.

9. Can I use a different sweetener?
