Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup crushed ice
- 1 tablespoon raspberry syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut creamer
- 1 cup chilled Diet Coke (or regular Coke)
Optional Toppings
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream
- Fresh raspberries, for garnish
Instructions
- Add Crushed Ice: Add 1/2 cup of crushed ice to the bottom of your glass. This helps chill the drink quickly and gives it a refreshing soda shop feel.
- Pour in Raspberry Syrup: Pour 1 tablespoon of raspberry syrup over the ice. Let it sink to the bottom for a beautiful layered effect and a sweet start to each sip.
- Add Coconut Creamer: Slowly pour 1/4 cup of coconut creamer over the ice and syrup. Pour gently to allow the creamy layer to form and keep the distinct bands visible.
- Top With Diet Coke: Carefully pour 1 cup of chilled Diet Coke over the layers. Watch as it fizzes and rises, creating a stunning ombré look in the glass.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream and a few fresh raspberries on top. Serve immediately with a straw, and give it a gentle swirl to combine before drinking.
Notes
- Always use well-chilled soda for the best fizz and to prevent watering down the drink.
- Crushed ice provides a faster chill and soda fountain texture.
- Substitute coconut creamer with vanilla or almond creamer if preferred, including plant-based options for dairy-free.
- Try swapping raspberry syrup with fresh raspberry purée or strawberry syrup for variety.
- For extra coconut flavor, add a drop of coconut extract to your creamer before pouring.
- To prep ahead, mix syrup and creamer and store refrigerated for up to 3 days—shake well before using.
- To serve a crowd, assemble each drink individually rather than in one pitcher for best fizz and presentation.
