Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon grenadine syrup
- ¾ cup lemon-lime soda e.g., Sprite
- ¼ cup vanilla-flavored coffee creamer
- Ice cubes
- Maraschino cherries optional garnish
Instructions
- Start with Ice: Fill a tall glass (mason jars add extra charm!) with ice. Want to go the extra mile? Toss in a couple of maraschino cherries for a playful touch.
- Add Grenadine: Pour about ½ tablespoon of grenadine into the glass. Watch as it sinks to the bottom, creating a beautiful gradient effect.
- Pour the Soda: Slowly fill the glass ¾ of the way with lemon-lime soda. Be gentle—you want those bubbles to stay bubbly!
- Layer the Creamer: Here’s the fun part. Slowly pour the vanilla coffee creamer directly onto the ice. If done correctly, you’ll see a dreamy ombre effect form before your eyes.
- Garnish and Serve: Top your creation with a cherry or slice of lime, then serve immediately. Cheers to your newfound soda-making skills!
Notes
- Best served immediately for optimal fizziness and creaminess.
- For a layered effect, pour the coffee creamer slowly over the ice.
- Double or multiply the recipe for parties, but note that the layered look may not be as prominent in bulk servings.
