Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup raspberry syrup
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 cup blueberry syrup
- 4 cups club soda
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of raspberry syrup, 1 cup of coconut cream, 1 cup of blueberry syrup, 4 cups of club soda, and ice cubes.
- Prepare four tall glasses. Fill each glass halfway with ice cubes to ensure your sodas are chilled and refreshing.
- In a separate bowl or measuring cup, pour 1 cup of raspberry syrup. Carefully pour an equal amount of raspberry syrup into each glass, distributing it evenly among the four glasses. This will form the red layer of your patriotic drink.
- Next, gently pour 1 cup of coconut cream into each glass on top of the raspberry syrup. To create a beautiful layered effect, pour the coconut cream slowly over the back of a spoon so it floats on top of the syrup.
- After adding the coconut cream, it's time to add the blue layer. Pour 1 cup of blueberry syrup into a bowl or measuring cup. Slowly pour the blueberry syrup into each glass, again using the back of a spoon to help it float on top of the coconut cream layer.
- Once all layers are added, pour 1 cup of club soda into each glass. The club soda will add fizz and help to mix the layers slightly, creating a beautiful visual effect.
- Gently stir each glass with a straw or a long spoon to combine the layers slightly, but be careful not to mix them completely if you want to maintain the layered look.
- Optionally, garnish each drink with fresh raspberries or blueberries on top for added color and flair. You can also add a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your festive patriotic red, white, and blue Italian cream sodas!
