Ingredients

- Strawberry syrup store-bought or homemade—your call!
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep Your Glasses: Start by filling two glasses with ice. And don’t skimp on the cubes—pile them high! For an extra chill factor, pop the glasses in the freezer for 15 minutes before you begin. Trust me; it makes a difference.
- Step 2: Add Some Sweetness: Drizzle that strawberry syrup around the inside of each glass. Go slow—you want those beautiful gradient swirls to form as the syrup cascades down the sides. It’s almost too pretty to drink… almost.
- Step 3: Pour in the Fizz: Now comes the fun part. Pour 8 ounces of strawberry soda into each glass. Watch it fizz and dance—it’s like a little party in there.
- Step 4: Finish with Creamy Goodness: Top off each glass with 2 ounces of vanilla coffee creamer. As the creamer meets the soda, you’ll see mesmerizing swirls forming. Take a moment to appreciate the artistry—you earned it.
Notes
- Best Served Fresh: Enjoy immediately after preparation for the best taste and fizz.
- Make Ahead Option: Mix the syrup and soda ahead of time, but add ice and creamer just before serving.
- Dairy-Free Alternative: Use almond, soy, or coconut-based creamers for a dairy-free version.
- Homemade Syrup: If you don’t have strawberry syrup, make your own by heating equal parts sugar, water, and mashed strawberries, then straining.
