Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup crushed ice
  • 1 tablespoon raspberry syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut creamer
  • 1 cup chilled Diet Coke (or regular Coke)
  • 2 tablespoons whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • Fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add 1/2 cup of crushed ice to the bottom of a tall glass.
  2. Step 2: Pour 1 tablespoon of raspberry syrup over the ice, allowing it to settle at the bottom.
  3. Step 3: Slowly pour 1/4 cup of coconut creamer over the syrup and ice to create a creamy layer.
  4. Step 4: Carefully top the glass with 1 cup of chilled Diet Coke, letting it fizz up.
  5. Step 5: Garnish with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream and a few fresh raspberries if desired. Serve with a straw and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • Use crushed ice instead of cubes for a faster chill and authentic soda shop texture.
  • Chill your soda beforehand to prevent it from watering down your drink.
  • Gently swirl with a straw after pouring to create a beautiful layered effect.
  • Add a drop of coconut extract to the creamer for extra coconut flavor.
  • Chill your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes for an extra cold drink.
  • Swap Diet Coke for regular Coke, Coke Zero, or Dr Pepper for a different twist.
  • Use vanilla or almond creamer instead of coconut for a new flavor profile.
  • Substitute raspberry syrup with fresh raspberry puree or strawberry syrup if preferred.
  • Make it dairy-free by choosing plant-based creamers like almond-coconut or oat milk options.

Storage

You can pre-mix the raspberry syrup and coconut creamer and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Shake well before using. Once assembled, it’s best to enjoy the drink immediately for optimal fizz and flavor. Leftovers can be refrigerated for a few hours but may lose carbonation; stir gently before drinking.

How to Serve

A tall, clear glass filled with a three-layered drink resting on a white marbled surface; the bottom layer is a bright red raspberry syrup that shows through the glass vividly, the middle layer is a dark brown soda with visible carbonation bubbles, and the top layer is thick, creamy white foam spilling slightly over the edge. On top of the foam, there are three fresh red raspberries arranged together, and a small dollop of whipped cream is nestled behind them. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this with regular Coke instead of Diet?

Yes! Regular Coke, Coke Zero, or even Dr Pepper work wonderfully in this recipe.

What coconut creamer do you use?

I use Sweet Cream Coconut Creamer from Natural Bliss, but any coconut-based coffee creamer will do.
