Notes
Flavor Variations: You can easily switch up the flavor by using different syrups such as vanilla, raspberry, strawberry, or even more exotic options like lavender or peach.
Dairy-Free Option: To make this drink dairy-free, use coconut cream or almond milk in place of the heavy cream.
Sweetness Level: Adjust the syrup quantity depending on your sweetness preference. If you prefer a lighter taste, reduce the amount of syrup or use a sugar-free version.
Chilled Ingredients: For a crisp, refreshing drink, ensure that your club soda, syrup, and cream are chilled before mixing.
Garnishing: Garnish with fresh fruit like a raspberry, strawberry, or even a lemon twist to enhance the look and flavor.
Storage: This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the soda mix (club soda + syrup) in advance and refrigerate it. Add the cream and ice just before serving.
