Notes
You can use coconut cream if you would like instead of the coconut syrup and heavy cream. It will have a similar flavor in this easy recipe.Recipe Tips
Chill Soda - Keeps the drink extra refreshing.
Add the Lime - Adds a pop of brightness to balance the sweetness.
Dairy Free - Use coconut cream, almond milk, or oat milk.
Serving a crowd? For 8 people, plan on two 2-liter bottles of soda, one bottle of syrup, and about 1 cup of heavy cream or half and half — plenty for everyone to build their own glass with room to spare.
What is nugget ice? It's the soft, chewable ice you get at Sonic or a soda shop. It's not required — regular ice cubes work great too — but nugget ice melts a little faster and soaks up flavor, which is part of what makes soda shop drinks taste so good.
