Ingredients

• Strawberry soda: delivers bold berry flavor with just the right amount of bubbles Look for a version with real sugar for a cleaner taste
• Vanilla coffee creamer: brings the luscious creaminess that makes this drink reminiscent of classic sodas Choose a highquality creamer for the best texture
• Strawberry syrup: boosts the fruity notes and lets you adjust the sweetness and color I go for a thick syrup with a natural strawberry scent for authentic taste
• Ice cold cubes: are key for a frosty finish Pop your ice trays in the freezer ahead of time for best results

StepbyStep Instructions

Prep the Glasses:

Start by filling two tall glasses with plenty of fresh ice Gently tap the glasses on the counter to settle the cubes This keeps your drink icy cold from the very first sip

Add the Strawberry Drizzle:

Generously swirl strawberry syrup inside each glass Aim for an even coat on the sides and a drizzle over the ice The syrup makes for beautiful streaks and an extra pop of berry flavor

Pour the Soda:

Carefully pour eight ounces of strawberry soda into each glass Pour slowly over the back of a spoon if possible to minimize foam letting the bubbles cascade over the ice

Top with Creamer:

Slowly add two ounces of vanilla coffee creamer to each glass It helps to pour close to the soda's surface This lets the creamy layer float and swirl for that irresistible marbled look

Gently Swirl and Sip:

Take a long straw or a spoon and give the drink one gentle swirl to marry the colors and flavors Drink immediately while the soda is bubbly and the creamer is lusciously chilled

Storage Tips

For the best texture always assemble right before serving If you need to prep ahead keep the syrup and soda cold and mix with creamer only when ready Leftovers will separate and lose fizz quickly so plan to enjoy immediately

Ingredient Substitutions

If you cannot find strawberry soda try club soda with extra syrup or even cherry soda for a bold twist Any vanilla or even strawberryflavored coffee creamer can stand in just make sure it is unsweetened if your soda is especially sugary For a lighter option choose a plantbased creamer for an equally smooth finish
