Tips & Variations

• Use pebble or crushed ice to soak up the flavors beautifully.
• Chill your glass in the freezer for 5 minutes before preparation to keep the drink extra cold.
• Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less raspberry syrup to taste.
• Make it dairy-free by swapping coconut cream with coconut milk or almond creamer.
• Add a splash of pineapple juice for a tropical twist.
• If you don’t have raspberry syrup, blend fresh raspberries with a little sugar as a substitute.
• For a less sweet option, use club soda instead of Sprite.
• To make it creamier, add a small amount of sweetened condensed milk.
• You can prepare the raspberry syrup, coconut cream, lime juice, and vanilla mixture ahead of time in a jar; just pour over ice and add soda when ready to serve.

Storage

This drink is best enjoyed fresh for optimal fizz and creaminess. If you prepare the syrup mixture in advance, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, add ice and soda just before drinking. Leftover soda mixtures are not recommended to store once carbonated.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different kind of soda?

Yes, lemon-lime soda like Sprite is traditional, but you can also use club soda for less sweetness or try other citrus-flavored sodas to vary the taste.

Is it possible to make this drink vegan?

Absolutely. Use full-fat coconut cream or plant-based creamers without animal products, and ensure your raspberry syrup doesn’t contain honey if you avoid all animal-derived ingredients.
