Add Flavorful Syrup: Stir in two tablespoons of your chosen flavored syrup into the cola. Experiment with flavors until you find your perfect match!
Incorporate Heavy Cream: Gently pour in about two tablespoons of heavy cream into the mixture. Swirl it around until it blends beautifully but don’t overmix; we want some swirls!
Taste Test Time!: Grab a spoon and give your concoction a little taste test. Adjust syrup and cream levels based on how sweet or creamy you want it.

Content
Fresh ingredients make a big difference in taste; choose ripe fruits for the best flavor. I once made it with overripe fruit, and let’s just say, it wasn’t my finest hour!
Mixing your flavors can elevate the drink; try coconut or vanilla syrup for a twist. My buddy swears by adding a splash of coconut milk—it’s like a mini vacation in a cup!
Serve it ice-cold for the ultimate refreshment; chilling your glasses enhances the experience. I’ve learned that warm soda is never a good idea—trust me!
Perfecting the Cooking Process
Start by preparing your syrup first, then mix it into carbonated water while adding ice. This sequence ensures every sip is bursting with flavor and refreshment.
Add Your Touch
Feel free to swap out regular soda for flavored sparkling waters. Add fresh herbs like mint or basil for an unexpected twist that’ll impress your guests.
Storing & Reheating
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Serve chilled, and avoid reheating since it’s best enjoyed cold and refreshing.
