Ingredients
Ice – enough to fill the glass
- 1 oz raspberry syrup or any fruit syrup you love
6 oz club soda – swap for plain soda water or sparkling water if you prefer
- 2 oz half-and-half use coconut milk for a dairy-free twist
Whipped cream – generous swirl for the top
- 1 maraschino cherry for the finishing touch
Instructions
Fill the glass to the brim with ice.
- Add the syrup: pour 1 oz of raspberry syrup directly over the ice.
Top with fizz: gently stream in 6 oz of club soda (or sparkling water) so the bubbles stay lively.
- Float the cream: slowly pour 2 oz of half-and-half down the inside of the glass to create that signature layered ombré.
Garnish: finish with a cloud of whipped cream and perch the maraschino cherry on top.
